Then started X - I am using your xinitrc.
xclipboard has 'big fonts' - which I presume is the default from
app_defaults - rather than the default font I set in my .XResources.
It has nothing to do with different defaults that are special to
app_to_run. app_to_run is just run before the resources are loaded,
so it doesn't see what was in your .Xresources file. This is a bug,
yes.
OK?
This is probably all down to the race condition.
Right, I'm not asking about the .Xresources race condition. My
question is separate. Given this sequence:
[1] rm -rf ~/.fontconfig
[2] Launch X11.app
[3] Quit X11.app
[4] Launch X11.app
Is your experience in [4] what you were hoping for, or were [2] and
[4] identical? If [4] is right and [2] is wrong, then it's just that
you didn't have a vaid font cache yet. Perhaps I can put the cacheing
in startx and have the server wait for it to finish before starting...

(I keep wishing for some X utility that I can poke into a window and
it tells me the resource settings that are extant - I keep wanting
to know what font is in use and have done for years).

Peter,
if anything, you should have a delay the first time starting X
(when there is no font cache). The second time, it should work
fine (since it has the cache there, and it doesn't need to
update). Can you verify that for me?
