Description Jani-Matti Hätinen 2003-08-27 08:06:48 UTC 
KDE fails to start up and hangs while initialising the window manager. Rebuilding the  
entire package tree doesn't help and neither does downgrading to 3.1.2.  
 
xset:  bad font path element (#64), possible causes are:  
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions  
    Directory missing fonts.dir  
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

Comment 1 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-23 10:21:48 UTC 
Is this bug resolved?
Comment 2 Jani-Matti Hätinen 2003-10-24 00:27:16 UTC 
Yes. The most likely cause was that hosts.conf didn't have the machine name
as an alias for localhost.
