With this information, I was playing around. I asserted that starting the gnome-theme-manger, selecting a theme and closing the theme-manager leaves a process called 'gnome-settings-daemon'. When this process is running, the attachments are shown. So, I added a line to start the gnome-settings-daemon before startkde in my .xsession. The gnome-settings-daemon doesn't screw up my fonts and keyboard settings in KDE, I cannot follow your problem. Thank you for this idea :)
