I also got problems with the path to rgb.txt. In my case, the
consequences were less dramatic: xmms looked very ugly and all tcl/tk
applications failed to run (error was something about being unable to
run application Black).

I solved my problems by commenting RgbPath setting in xorg.conf. I would
suggest the line with RgbPath is commented in xorg.conf.example.
