Bug#365654: duplicate libXfont.so found



As libXfont seemed to be the cause of the error, and I managed to get
a new install working just fine, I wondered if perhaps there was an
old version of libXfont not cleaned up in my upgrade.

To my surprise I found that I had installed the CVS version when
tinkering with cairo, perhaps two years ago.  Uninstalling the
second copy of libXfont allowed X to start up normally.

Why I never encountered an error before this, I am not sure.

Perhaps the /usr/local directory was not being queried before the
upgrade, or the version I had installed manually was compatible with
other libraries until this upgrade.

I don't know what the resolution is for the other reporters, but for
me, my X works again.
