Eventually I removed most of those (test) links, but I did find that the 
libfontconfig worked with the Blastwave version and consistantly seg 
faulted with the SXCE b72 version.  I wouldn't expect a mixed config to 
work well either, but I still think b72 (which is actually quite nice, now 
that I've hacked it to work) has some libfontconfig issues.

Thanks
Geoff
