Judging from this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453134

I assume that I'm missing some required font package(s).  I tried installing
xfonts-75dpi, and some of the errors go away, ut it still fails to start, and
now I see this:

I saw this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=357965

but installing xfs makes no difference.

Incidentally, while the above errors are being displayed, the CPU usage goes to
nearly %100, and stays there for several seconds.  htop shows that it's the X
server taking up all the CPU.
