Since I think this has come up a few times occasionally, to me it still
sounds like GNOME brokeness. What kind of icon caching concept is
this? If the cache file gets out-of-date and an icon is not found within
the cache, the desktop system doesn't search the file system? Huh? Or
maybe this is configurable in some place? Why should a KDE application
maintain a GTK icon theme cache file?

OpenType .otf fonts and printing
by Michael A. Peters
Type 1 outline OpenType fonts work very well through fontconfig, but it
seems that they do not print. Evolution will just leave the space blank,
Firefox will substitute (seems to pick a generic font - IE my monospace
sans-serif font is substituted with a variable serif font when firefox
prints).
AbiWord won't even load the font (apparently intentionally) so that you
don't pick a font you can't print.
Virtually all Adobe fonts are now only available in this format, and
many other foundries are at least headed that direction (though often
makey type1 and/or ttf available as well).
I can use fontforge to change them to a format that does print (though
I'm not sure if the licenses that forbid decompiling would like that) so
its not a huge issue, but I'm curious as to what work (if any) is going
on in the Fedora/Gnome world to bring proper type1 otf printing support
to Fedora.
The ttf outline opentype fonts (which seem to have a .ttf extension)
such as Palatino Linotype seem to work just fine. It's only the .otf
fonts that don't print (but look absolutely gorgeous on screen).

So, if as Eric says, the previous workaround doesn't work, can we have
the remount workaround (that works) instead?

This feels like a hack for the fact that xfs_freeze doesn't work as it
was designed to -- it is specifically for things which need the contents
on disk to actually be what the kernel thinks is there. And the
continued need of random hacks like this make me more and more inclined
to just disallow the use of XFS as a bootable filesystem.

Modular X server build issues
by Joachim Frieben
I have rebuilt Mike Harris' experimental modular xorg-x11 RPMs on a
base FC4 system. The following issues surfaced during the build (not
restricted to FC4, they apply to "rawhide" as well):
1. Conflicting files "/usr/include/GL/glx.h" for "mesa-GL-devel"
and "xorg-x11-proto-devel".
2. Conflicting files "/usr/include/GL/glu.h" for "mesa-GLU-devel" and
"xorg-x11-proto-devel".
2. Wrong requirement "xorg-x11-server" when the right package name
was "xorg-x11-server-Xorg", applies to "xorg-x11-server-Xvfb" and
"xorg-x11-server-Xnest" spec files
3. drv packages do not build because 'pkg-config xorg-x11-server
--variable=driverdir' and 'pkg-config xorg-x11-server
--variable=inputdir' are nil whereas 'pkg-config xorg-x11-server
--variable=moduledir' yields "/usr/lib/xorg/modules". "moduledir"
and "inputdir" are apparently undefined. A workaround is to set
"driverdir" and "inputdir" in the spec file to "%(moduledir)/drivers"
and "%(moduledir)/input" respectively.
4. xorg-x11-drv-mouse: "/usr/shar/man/man4/mouse.4.gz" conflicts with
file from package "man-pages".
