I can confirm this running Karmic with KDE SC 4.4.

To reproduce:
1) Start Font Installer (either via systemsettings, krunner, konsole, kmenu....)
2) Add a font (either .otf or .ttf) try to install it systemwide

You'll get an error message saying "Failed to start the system daemon".

Starting the settings module from command line (kcmshell4 fontinst), the respective lines are:
