Bug#242664: stale fontconfig cache slows FontConfig-using X client startup to a crawl



retitle 242664 xserver-xfree86: X clients take minutes instead of seconds to open, and CPU load goes as high as 5
retitle 249154 xserver-xfree86: many apps slow to start up after X upgrade

This problem is caused by the FontConfig cache getting stale.

If there is a bug here, it is probably in one or both of:

1) fontconfig
2) font packages that fail to invoke fc-cache in their postinst scripts

Thanks to Michel Dänzer for identifying this problem.
