gnumeric, rxvt hang because of fontpath

[<briand@zipcon.net>]

Hi,

Running testing.

I have the following fontpath set-up :

Section "Files"
# breaks rxvt & gnumeric !?
#  FontPath   "unix/:7100"
  FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
  FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
#  FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
#  FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
EndSection

If I leave the unix/:7100 in then both gnumeric and rxvt will hang.
Has anyone seen something like this.  Or even better does anyone know
what's wrong :-)

I've straces the programs and they both hang on a select command.  I
haven't figured out the resource they are trying to access, but
obviously it's font-related in someway.

rxvt eventually returns.

gnumeric is more of a problem.  It can actually freeze x-windows for
several seconds before it finally dies.

I did some building of the debian rxvt package and it turns out the
--with-xim is the thing which causes the hanging behavior.
