Also, there is an update on ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/ that has
something to do with the font server..
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/docs/XFree86-upgrade/XFree86-upgrade.html
clipped from a post on comp.os.redhat.announce
.A number of problems exist with the XFree86 RPMs shipped with Red Hat
.Linux 6.0. The font server is hardcoded not to accept TCP
.connections. A race condition leads to slow startups on X servers
.which are entirely cached in memory. There are some problems with
.inputting ISO-8859-1 characters with an ISO-8859-2 language in use.
.By default, the directory /etc/X11/xdm/authdir does not exist, which
.causes the X server to fall back to no authentication at all.
