Problem with icon text (kdesktop) see screenshot

Basically, the icon text doesn't wrap to two lines and of course, the icons are all out of alignment. If I kill kdesktop and start it manually from the command line, the problem goes away. I tried downgrading from kdebase-3.5.1-r1 to kdebase-3.5.1 to no avail. The strange thing is that this problem just started randomly long after I had updated my system (that is, I rebooted several times before this problem showed up). Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this?
