Hi Dave, thanks for your reply.

LessTif may well be what's causing me problems - I have both lesstif and 
motif installed (but not lesstif-dev) from debian packages.  I'm about 92% 
sure that it's built with motif because I tried --with-static-motif and only 
motif-dev provides libXm.a rather than libXm.so, but I still get the same 
problem.  I'd try removing lesstif to see if it helps but for some bizarre 
reason Konqueror (and therefore the whole of kde) depends on it.

Yes, that seems to be the reason.  The workaround that Paul posted seems to 
have worked - I now have icons but no text...
