Yesterday I have updated my box to Xorg 7, and got some problems to start kde, many of them resolved with the instructions from Stefan.

Hmm ... this should not happen. How did you update to X.Org 7? Which packages did you install from which repository?

I made the update via smart upgrade.

Well, this answers only my first question. :-(

I recommend to simply

...

install all packages of

SUSE 10.1: http://software.opensuse.org/download/xorg7/Java_Sun-Java-1.5_SUSE_Linux_10....

Factory: http://software.opensuse.org/download/xorg7/SUSE_Factory/

...

One of the problems was with sax2 that configures the font path as /usr/lib/X11/fonts,

sax2/Factory already uses /usr/share/fonts, sax2/10.1 still uses /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. BTW, reconfiguration with sax2 should not have been required, since xorg.conf is already patched in %post of xorg-x11-server package to use the new font path.

...

when I have moved the fonts from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to /usr/share/fonts. I resolved this problem with a symlink.

I cannot recommend to do so. Did you run SuSEconfig (--module fonts) after the packages update?

Yes, I runned it.

Good!

...

The other problem related to the fonts is in kde, because any qt application loads any text (such as konsole). Only the gtk applications loads partially the fonts to show the text and menus.

Sounds like a completely messed up font setup.

/usr/share/fonts is the right font path for all the fonts?

How detects kde the right font path, and how can configure it, when I do'nt see any text in the Control Panel?

KDE uses client side font rendering via fontconfig/freetype and /usr/share/fonts as well as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf since quite some time. So it doesn't matter, which font paths are configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
