Hi,

As you may have noticed I have merged X.org 7.5 into the trunk.  It seems to
work fine, except for one problem:

If you run into mysteriously segfaulting X applications, e.g.

$ chatzilla
/nix/store/f05cnslr8f2y3zx8vlph65qn4yl5iv6l-xulrunner-1.9.0.3/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.3/run-mozilla.sh:
line 131:  4337 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

then you either need to upgrade the application to the latest version from
Nixpkgs, or do an "rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*".  The reason is that these
programs are linked against an older version of fontconfig, which crashes when
it sees a cache created by the new version of fontconfig.
