I use an .xsession file with 'startkde' at the end, but I get the same behaviour with no .xsession or .xinitrc, and just choosing "KDE" from the Session Type menu in kdm. It is interesting that using Session Type: Twm gives no lines for Xft in the xrdb -query output, but GTK applications work correctly with antialiasing in that case. I have no references to xft inside /etc/X11. And my .Xresources doesn't contain any other lines that should conflict with the Xft lines that appear automatically. Best regards, Torquil M. Sørensen
