I have tried

sudo fc-cache -f


Didn't seem to fix the issue. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd hate to have to use M$ Office instead of Open Office ;-).

The "font path" message is a red herring; it appears all the time, even when X11 starts up correctly.

What you see is a correct start up / shut down sequence, no error involved :-)

If you don't want X11 to shut down immediately, you have to fix your ~/.xinitrc script (I am guessing here, there could be othe causes, but in the vast majority of cases I have seen, this was the cause). As soon as ~/.xinitrc terminates, X11 shuts down, so you have to prevent it from terminating by having a last line that does not terminate. You find examples of correct ~/.xinitrc scripts everywhere. Just don't place an extra & at the end.
