I have no idea what functionality they provide, they've just been in my config file in my years. :-) Anyway I removed them (without noticing any difference in how the fonts looked), but it did not prevent a hang. > You can only attach to the X server with gdb remotely from another > machine (or at the very least from console), as otherwise you end up > in a dead lock where gdb stops execution of the X server, which is > what provides interaction with gdb... Ehh... *blushes* Anyway, I attached GDB to the X server from the console, put it in a screen and attached to it from within X. When the hang occurred there were no signals or anything else showing up. So that didn't make me any wiser either. :-( Regards -- Tore Anderson
