The concensus on the list was that we should not modify the user's
X configuration files, and that includes the fonts server's config
(there is a potenial for serious problems resulting, quite appart from
some people not liking things like that being done behind their
backs), and also this issue is specific to RH, while the rpms can
be used elsewhere.
There is some new code in place now which will alert the user
when they first start AW if there is a problem with their font path
and point them to an explanation in the FAQ section of the help
file, so this should not cause any problems in the forthcoming 0.9.6
release.
