Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
If you install kubuntu-desktop and you are running xfs (the font server,
not the file system) and your xorg.conf file has the "unix:7100" font
path in it (which nvidia-settings unfortunately adds for you) then
terrible things happen:
* Citrix doesn't work. It fails with error boxes that have no text in them.
* Opera fonts are screwed.
* Everything is slower
* Lots of programs, like firefox and xterm, will die with BadName X_Error
messages that appear in .xsession-errors or on the terminal, but which you
won't see if you run the from the GUI.
I thought kubuntu was really messed up. All kinds of things were going
wrong. It turns out, all you have to do is "aptitude remove xfs". But
this is hard to figure out. That evil package should be counter-
indicated by kubuntu-desktop.
** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
