It seems this didn't fix the issue. A little more delving into the problem 
shows up the following:

"Could not init font path element built-ins, removing from list!"

A quick search brings up this:

https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1977?focusedCommentId=68325

Which seems to detail my issue perfectly. The issues I have only seem to be 
present on Fedora Core 6, which still uses xfs, but the same build works fine 
on other distributions which do not use xfs.

Was this change a deliberate one on the part of Xorg or is it a bug?

Regards,

George
