This guy got it right in one, and I don't mean what he was saying about
your GL libs.
It's not your GL libs, it's nothing to do with your X server. It's
something to do with fontconfig or your font directories.
If you stop changing stuff between every mail, we might have a chance
of figuring it out :-)
I think Rich Drewes may well have figured out what the problem is; if
you have fonts in your font path that are readable by root, but
not by the user, that is going to cause big problems for fontconfig and
GTK+.
