I'm having a very strange problem with text in GTK applications running in KDE (3.5). Very consistently random pieces of text show up in meaningless blobs of color. If I hover the mouse over the offending text it usually fixes itself instantly. I thought at first it was a problem with gtk because it only happened it gtk applications such as synaptic and eclipse.I reinstalled gtk - no help. I installed gnome and lo and behold it displays everything fine.
Here's a screenshot:

One odd thing in my Xorg.0.log:
Warning: font renderer for ".pcf" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".pcf.Z" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".pcf.gz" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".snf" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".snf.Z" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".snf.gz" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".bdf" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".bdf.Z" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".bdf.gz" already registered at priority 0
Warning: font renderer for ".pmf" already registered at priority 0
I haven't been able to track down a good explanation of this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
