Ahhh... that would explain why everyone is having problems with the
latest fontconfig update from apt.  Not knowing that you should run
fc-cache is a HUGE handicap though.  There will be a lot of people with
broken GUIs in the next couple of days. :-(

Can't this fc-cache -f be included as part of the RPM the same way
config is done when you install a kernel RPM?  Wonder if the maintainer
of fontconfig could add that in?  (I don't know enough about how RPMs
work to know if this is possible... just asking)
