OK, now iceweasel runs, but I realised that there is more to it, something to do with fonts and pango. When I start non-kde applications under kde, I get little squares instead of fonts.

The output is like this (for xsane, here):

xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 10'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 12.5'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='DejaVu Sans 12.5', text='French (Français)'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called with null font argument, expect ugly output

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='DejaVu Sans 10', text='XSane változat: 0.995'
