| My initial response below was when I was using my Intel Imac. However on my laptop (Powerbook G4) - both [2] and [4] give the 'wrong' font for xclipboard. That running it unplugged.
So this does appear to be some timing issue.

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...

In [2] it's evident that the font settings I am expecting are not correct. I let the cache build before doing [3]. For [4] they are. However, always waiting for it to be rebuild is making us all pay for an initial startup problem. Perhaps the wait until it's built is only really necessary if .fontconfig does not exist?
(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?
