Doing that didn't help. I looked at the log file and all I
saw then was gibberish. I looked again and worked at
understanding what I was seeing.

Quoting from part of the log file:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'


Aha! I first search for the directory/file called unix and
found stuff that looks like it could be related, but not
strongly (/usr/src/kernel/2.6.14..., /proc/sys/net/unix
& /proc/net/unix). I search for "*7100" and find an entry
in the /tmp/.font-unix/ called fs7100, it's listed in a
directory listing as "srwxrwxrwx 1 xfs xfs 0" with a
date time stamp of now. I'm not sure if the entry in the
config file has been hosed or if the "fixed" has gone
missing (I couldn't find a file file called fixed).
