gnome crash, fontconfig



Hello,

Just installed X and gnome on sarge.

When I startx, I get as far as a  split second of the gnome
logo, then X crashes and my term is all screwed up and I have
to reboot.

After rebooting I find an .xsession_errors file in my home
dir (running gnome as root currently) as follows:

No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured...

So I

dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

and enabled sub-pixel text rendering (got an LCD), and disabled
 bitmapped fonts. Same thing: the .xsession_errors file is
recreated.

Can't see any decent output from gnome in /var/log - can anyone
tell me what's going on or how I'm supposed to find out?

Cheers,

Eliot Stock.
