As I was going to say - when you do you'll need to change some settings 
so that the x fontserver config is altered.

1. In Settings/Folders & Files - make sure /etx/x11/fs/config is set as 
the X config file
2. In Settings/System - make sure "/etc/init.d/xfs restart" is selected 
as the X refresh command.

...The latest (CVS) verison will do this automatically, but MAndrake's 
version won't.

Not sure if this will solve all problems though.

Ciao

Craig.
