And these changes are generating spurious bug reports due to incorrect
paths in xorg.conf... Damned if we do, damned if we don't. However, so
far the support burden seems quite clearly higher without forcing the
default paths. For the font path, one might do something fancy like
seeing if the font server works and only adding the default paths if it
doesn't.
