I (nearly) found where's the problem; if I do:
xset fp- unix/:7100
I.e. I disable the font server that comes with X (xfs), but I still
leave the TTF fonts somewhere in the font path, it seems that everything
works as expected. No more apps deadlocks.
my /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options contains just this line:
no-restart-on-upgrade
Dunno where this "freeze" exactely comes from, but I'm sure I won't use
xfs anymore !
Xav
