[ale] bogus error mesg...

[David S. Jackson]

Hi,

I was futzing around with my laptop and somehow messed up my user
account's X settings.  I can start X from either root or a new test
account (so I don't think it's a global or a permissions problem), but
I can't seem to start it from my own user account. I've tried starting
fvwm2, wmaker, and twm, and each bombs out with the same error.

The error I get is

'waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE 
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2,
should be 1; fixing.'

Prior to logging out the last time I used my laptop (when X was
working), I was using some find $HOME/ -name '*~' | xargs -p rm
type commands.  I didn't think I deleted anything sensitive, but
perhaps I did.

BTW, I'm using Debian 2.1.  

Any ideas on what my problem might be or how to fix it, short of
reinstalling my (heavily customized) window mgr config files from
scratch?
