Should not cause trouble but may need to be fixed.

My fault. xftcache can only be run after XFree86-libs-4.1.0 has been installed.
Does not do harm but I guess the call to xftcache can be removed when all the
font packages contain a XftCache file and DrakFont calls it (don't know if it does).
Maybe xftcache should be called from an init script, e.g. /etc/init.d/xfs.
Run xftcache by hand after installing fonts or XFree updates for now.

Unrelated. The warnings have been there for a long time but at least I
have never had problems with konsole since 4.1.0. Try setting a user defined
font.
