That is almost certainly an X11 driver problem.
I doubt that it happens only for KDE4 applications. As you can see in your screenshot, you see it only for certain sizes of the small ‘r’. In other applications you may have slightly different sizes and therefore you don’t see it.
Add the option "norenderaccel" to the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, this should workaround the problem.
You are absolutely right. I should have been a little bit more observing -- I now remember that I saw those glitches also in OpenOffice ...
By the way, I have the same problem on my machine, the "Device" section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Device" BoardName "Radeon 7500-7146" BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0" Driver "radeon" #Driver "vesa" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "SaXDualHead" Option "IgnoreEDID" Option "MergedFB" Option "alwaysshared" Option "SaXDualMonitorVendor" "PHILIPS" Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50-61" Option "CRT2Position" "LeftOf" Option "usevnc" "yes" Option "httpdir" "/usr/share/vnc/classes" Option "httpport" "5800" Option "rfbauth" "/root/.vnc/passwd" Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050,1680x1050" Option "SaXDualResolution" "1680x1050" Option "SaXDualOrientation" "RightOf" Option "SaXDualMode" "Xinerama" Option "CRT2HSync" "30-66" Option "SaXDualHSync" "30-66" Option "SaXDualMonitorModel" "PHILIPS 200W" Option "SaXDualVSync" "50-61" Option "norenderaccel" ← add this! Option "MergedDPI" "98 98" VendorName "ATI" EndSection
I guess you also have Radeon hardare, don’t you?
Yes, I do. See the corresponding section of my machine's xorg.conf: Section "Device" BoardName "Radeon 7500" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "radeon" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "GARTSize" "32" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Setting the option "norenderaccel" also resolves that problem here.
