Re: WMaker 0.90 broken?

Well, it does seem to be a font issue.  I used
setup, and did a re-install of a couple of x11 font packages
and everthing seems to be working just fine.

On a side note, ipc-daemon2 does not seem to provide whatever
is needed by MIT-SHM, as I get that message, whether
I have ipc-daemon2 started or not.

I also think it's not a goodness that using setup to handle an
upgrade breaks the fonts package(s) and causes system 
failures....  But then, that's just my opinion, and as we all know,
opinion are like rear-ends....  Everyone has one, and they 
are usually all full of ......
