Thanks for pointing me Jeremy,
Running fc-list does not give any errors, and the trace doesn't point to
an error.
The error I get is during the start of X... So I tried tracing the
startx command, but there is no reference at all to anything that has to
do with fontconfig.
I tried tracing startkde, but didn't really find a clue. In the
.xsession_errors file I get:
[..]
startkde: Starting up...
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
kbuildsycoca running...
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary:

kxkb: WARNING: Unable to open /tmp/kde-thomas/dvorak.xkm: No such file
or directory
ERROR: Communication problem with khotkeys, it probably crashed.
[..]
And in the startkde script I see:
[..]
echo 'startkde: Starting up...' 1>&2
# run KPersonalizer before the session, if this is the first login
if kreadconfig --file kpersonalizerrc --group General --key FirstLogin
--default true --type bool; then

echo 'startkde: Running kpersonalizer...' 1>&2
dcopserver
kwin --lock &
kpersonalizer --before-session
# handle kpersonalizer restarts (language change)
while test $? -eq 1; do
kpersonalizer --r --before-session
done
dcopquit kwin
dcopserver_shutdown --wait
fi

test -n "$KDEWM" && KDEWM="--windowmanager $KDEWM"
kwrapper ksmserver $KDEWM
if test $? -eq 255; then
# Startup error

1>&2

Obviously, the first lines correspond to each other. But I can't figure
out where the configuration file of fontconfig is opened.
How can I trace this?
Thanks

My main problem is the error "Fontconfig error: Cannot load default

Where is fontconfig looking for the configuration? How can I resolve
the problem?
Use strace or ktrace to track this down.
For example, on NetBSD I ran:
ktrace fc-list
and then ran kdump and saw:
6104 fc-list NAMI "/usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf"
6104 fc-list RET open 3
...
6104 fc-list NAMI "/home/reed/.fonts.conf"
6104 fc-list RET access -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
6104 fc-list CALL access(0x804c280,4)
6104 fc-list NAMI "/usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/local.conf"
6104 fc-list RET access -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
...
So I can clearly see what configurations it looks at (or attempts) and
in what order ...
"strace fc-list" on another outputted:
access("/etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf", R_OK) = 0
open("/etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=11518, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0
xb7feb000
read(3, "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE "..., 8192) = 8192
access("/home/reed/.fonts.conf", R_OK) = 0
open("/home/reed/.fonts.conf", O_RDONLY) = 4
...
open("/etc/fontconfig/local.conf", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=350, ...}) = 0
