Bug#348639: xfs preinst and postinst scripts stop daemon but fail to restart it

[Matt R Hall <mhall@mhcomputing.net>]

Package: xfs
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal

I noticed that the xfs installation script stopped the daemon, but the restart
message was missing. Presuming it may have been restarted silently, I
attempted to start X afterwards, but X crashed because the only font path was
through the font server which was not running properly.
