This means xclock (and probably not the X server) is locking up. X simply
waits for it to die. Does X stop when you kill xclock?

Does anyone know why xclock even needs fonts? Its default mode of operation,
at least on my system, is to give an analog display with no printed text.
But it looks like it succeeds in loading the font. It halts somewhere after
that, but before making any other kernel calls.
