Solved.  I had comment out the first FontPath line 
(/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled) because I misinterpreted the cause of an 
earlier problem.  

X was trying to start a kde-3.2 session (which had long since been removed).  
That failed.  It then ended with an error about the reference count on this 
particular font path.  I cleaned out old XSession entries, and things are 
better.

Thanks
David
