I guess you mean the KDE theme. It's the default one (Oxygen) with
desktop effects off, with Cleanlooks widget style.

On System Settings -> Appearence there is a "GTK Styles and Fonts"
group. There, it is selected "Use my KDE style in GTK
applications". After selecting "Use another style:" and in the nearby
option list "Raleigh", the problem goes away (for new emacs sessions,
not for the existing ones). If I choose Qt4 instead of Raleigh, the
problem persists.

Having a workaround for this is great, as Emacs segfaults when the X
resources grow too high, which is after several days of use for me.

OTOH, if I can do something to further diagnose the problem, I'll be
glad to help.

Thanks Jan.
