Wow. I just halted xfs and restarted X. Everything looks the same.
Before I unsinstall xfs completely, I have two questions:

- Does anything need the font server? Sometimes I launch X-windows
	remotely after connected via ssh.

- The last time I configured my font list, it was to rearrange the
	75/100dpi listings in /etc/X11/xfs/config. If xfs goes away, does X
	fall back on the list in XF86Config-4? Currently I have 
	
	    FontPath  "unix/:7100"
      FontPath  "/usr/lib/fonts/misc"
	    ... etc ...
  
	So if I were to uninstall xfs, I'd just remove the first line, right?

TIA, Paul
