I did this, but it didn't reveal anything interesting. But mozilla was
working fine, no weird font problems.

Near as I can tell the only difference is that this time xfs didn't
restart. (I don't normally pay attention, but I know it's not
necessary under XFree86 4.x.)

I shut down X, logged out, and restarted xdm. Again, all works fine,
no xfs.

I don't understand, but I'm happy.
