LyX postinstall script limitations: Was Fontconfig is missing /etc/fonts/local.conf.

It appears that Jan would rather have LyX resolve this problem. The basics are that fontconfig no longer creates a default local.conf file, so LyX will need to correctly handle this case. It looks like adding an else clause to the existing -f check that generates a default file will fix things up.

I have just checked the source for the daemon() function and the setsid executable. They both call fork() and then setsid(). Do the console/rxvt process stick after calling ssh -f because file descriptors are left open? Can you suggest a strategy to deal with this? I'm not running ssh as a da
