Hmmm. Strange. I admit I never tried it with gdm1, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Can someone else confirm it fails with gdm1? > the font selection preference still freezes gnome though.

Hmmm. I would rather it just worked well out of the box. I think what we should do is turn on AA by default, and (jamesh has mentioned this a few times) ship a nice /etc/X11/XftConfig, and make sure it works well. The people who don't like it will be able to turn it off easily enough.
