Ok, now I took the time to test if the current version segfaults. It didn't 
;))

I just changed my XftConfig to include /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/URW (a link to 
the ghostscript font files). 

Then I checked out the files tagged VER-2-0-6, compiled and installed them. 
Started kwrite. Boom.

Then checked out the current version from CVS, compiled, installed. Started 
kwrite. And - works ;-))

BTW: I also wasn't able to produce a SEGV with the ft-demo programs - only 
with KDE programs...
