After starting xwin with "startx &", using a customized .xinitrc to start icewm, I am unable to append a network font path using the xset command, as in
xset fp+ tcp/server_name:server_port This hangs the x server, and requires me to kill it using alt-F-4. On the other hand, if I start the server with startx -- -fp tcp/server_name:serverport & the server does start without hanging, and appears to use the network font server successfully. There doesn't seem to be a way to append to the font path using startx, because extra arguments eventually get passed to xwin, which only allows a complete specification of the font path, rather than allowing prepends, appends, deletes, etc as in xset. So the apparent bug in xset seems to be a roadblock to what I want to accomplish.
