That's correct.

When I re-ran strace properly tracing the X _server_ (I traced xinit last
time... doh) it made more sense.

2.2.18pre15:

uname({sys="Linux", node="bamf", ...})  = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="bamf", ...})  = 0
connect(6, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="/tmp/.font-unix/fs7100"}, 24) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
close(6)                                = 0
gettimeofday({973726106, 534015}, NULL) = 0
write(2, "Could not init font path element"..., 65) = 65
write(0, "Could not init font path element"..., 65) = 65

which goes on to do other stuff and functions properly, where on
2.4.0-test10:

uname({sys="Linux", node="bamf", ...})  = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="bamf", ...})  = 0
connect(6, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="/tmp/.font-unix/fs7100"}, 24) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

which loops ad infinitum. The odd thing is that they both return -1
