One of the fonts, not sure which, does that.  I de-installed a whole lot of
'em (after struggling for hours to figure out which font it was -- I am very
dismayed that you can crash the window server so easily as to have a font in
there (as a space) that doesn't exist any more) and it all works fine now.

It might be Kallestar -- that doesn't come up on the screen very well for me.
I since canned it.

(note, it could be more than one)
