That made the "MIT-SHM ...." message disappear. But Paje still dont' appear on my Xterminal. I've waited a while (10-15 mn) and I noticed that the "font_cacher" process is still running and consumming CPU (~ 3 mn during these 15 mn) and my Xterminal is still slower than usually.
When I killed this font_cacher process, I got:

This messages are due to the font cache not being available. You should try to run the font_cacher manually, perhaps restricting it to specific fonts (defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontMask '-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'), this is described in the GNUstep Back documentation as a work around for X Server problems with fonts.
The other things you could do is switch to the art backend or use the FreeType font handling for the xlib backend, if XFT is available on your machine (defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontAntiAlias YES).
