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+.
