That set me to the right track ;-) I found out, that my system had had two 
versions of freetype.so.6 (one in /usr/lib, and one in /usr/X11R6/lib). As 
the X11R6 comes first in my /etc/ld.so.conf and it was the older one 6.3.3 
vs. 6.3.5 this meant trouble. After removing the old version every issue I 
described disapeared (the konqueror issue instantly, the kcontrol things 
after a restart).

Thanks a lot! That's much better, than compiling things myself (-:
