I can confirm the problem, and a solution.

The problem is the existence of several broken links in 
/usr/share/grace/fonts/type1, of the type:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 22 2005-06-21 17:06 ecb10.pfa -> /path/to/pfa/ecb10.pfa

All of the broken links have the names of fonts from the
ec-fonts-mftraced package, and the following commands put
the links back where (I presume) they should be pointing.

parabrisas:/usr/share/grace/fonts/type1# cd /usr/share/grace/fonts/type1
parabrisas:/usr/share/grace/fonts/type1# for i in `ls -l |grep path | cut -d 
":" -f 2 |cut -d " " -f 2`; \
do ln -sf /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/ec-fonts-mftraced/$i $i; done

This done, xmgrace starts up correctly and so far is well-behaved.

I should note that in my case, the original problem occurred with a 
fresh install of grace6 on a testing system.
