so, you do not have xfonts-base installed when the error occurs, and the
error disappears if you install that package, right?
Does this mean that
$ xfontsel -pattern "-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
says "no names match"?
I think that a "fixed" font should be available on all systems, so I
think adding xfont-base to the depends of libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev (or
xmonad) is the correct thing to do. But then, people can have a font
server... maybe a Recommends would do.
Greetings,
Joachim
