I don't think that there's a need for it, because the problem just seems
to exist with defoma. If you don't use it, you wont never get this
problem.

BTW: The line I wrote for doing it with defoma was from the
installscript of fontconfig. It seems to be a problem that just appears
with fontconfig.

I had this problem three times, after switching from xfree4.3.0pre3 to
pre4 (i didn't know what to do, so I replaced my 3 years old debian
installation with a "fresh" one. That solved my problem) , then after
switching from 4.3.0-3 to 4.3.0-5, but some days later i upgraded
fontconfig and then I realized, where the bug was.
It happend again, with switching to xfree4.3.0-7, but at this time i
knew what to do and it helped again.

Sure, i could do it manually, too, after every upgrade of X, but maybe
this affects more than just me.
