So I recast it and it didn't change anything.

A4.kwt is responsible for defining page layout, its width & height 
parameters, 
default fonts, page borders etc.

/usr/share/apps/kword/templates/Normal/.source/A4.kwt line number 2:

<PAPER width="595.277" zoom="100" spHeadBody="9" format="1" height="841.891"

this is the default width and height for ISO A4. I tried changing it to a 
random digits, like this:

<PAPER width="1000" zoom="100" spHeadBody="9" format="1" height="500"

And KWord visual representation of the size of a sheet changed according to 
these numbers.

But anyway this is not really KWord/KOffice specific. Acroread has A4 width & 
height distorted too.

Also, I created a new user (say joe) and logged into a KDE session. Guess 
what 
the paper sizes are correct for that user.

Now it'd be good to know what the hell's going on here.
