We might as well just stop attempting to automatically manage the caches and require that users run fc-cache manually whenever they change the set of installed fonts. That would push the whole problem out of fontconfig and onto the user or distribution... Although, I wonder if doing some per-directory locking while scanning might not help with this; essentially have one process hold a lock on the directory while scanning and make other processes wait for the lock to go away (with a timeout). -- -keith
