Well, not sure on gnome or KDE, but the above Xfce output looks like
the problem is the Seg faults when trying to start up. :(
Several other things to try:
- If you create a new fresh user, can they login ok?
(This would point to it being you users gtk theme, fonts setup or the
like).
Yes! I can login as a new user. Switched xorg.conf back to using xfs,
and that worked to.
( Oddly, when I logout as the new user, I'm left at console 7 with a
black screen and a blinking cursor at top left. console 1, witch I have
to manually switch to, shows the usual X shutdown stuff.)
- Could be some package leftover from your rawhide install causing
issues, perhaps a 'yum list extras' to identify any packages that are
not in repositories you have currently enabled?
- Could you try and run xfwm4 under a debugger?
0) yum --enable-repo=core-debuginfo install xfwm4-debuginfo
yum --enablerepo=extras-debuginfo ........ :)
1) Run X from a console, "xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm &"
2) Switch to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
3) Set the display "export DISPLAY=:0.0"
4) run "gdb /usr/bin/xfwm4"
5) if/when it crashes, run 'bt' and send me the backtrace.
Well, it appears to be font related. I hope you can figure out what the
font problems is though.
Does
rm -f ~/.fonts.cache-2 \
~/.rh-fontconfig/.fonts.cache-2 \
~/.fonts/fonts.cache-2
fix things up?
I'll do that, but shouldn't fc-cache -f ( which I've done) do he same
thing?
In any case, I do NOT have a ~/.fonts dir. should I? If so, what do I
install to get it, or is it just user fonts.
