Ah, I forgot the reason for mailing that on this kde-list in the first place :) Namely, my KDE 2 stopped working with antialiased fonts just a couple of days ago and I suspect the xftcache crash might have something to do with the problem. Everything's fine without antialiasing, but once it's been enabled, login sequence never gets beyond the jingle. Mouse pointer moves ok, but icons or desktop image never appear; CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is the only option. Actually, I don't even have to restart KDE after enabling AA to demonstrate the problem. If I enable it from Control Center, no QT base application starts anymore. The "loading CD"-icon spins for a while and then just disappears without a trace. Any application that's been started before the change work well, however. I can even disable font antialiasing aftert rying it, click on Konqueror and start browsing as if nothing were wrong. Apparently the problem only occures in application startup / qt init. - Jarno
