upgrade from test3: no graphical boot and weird fonts

[Matthias Buelow]

following up my own post with new results:

>* graphical boot no longer works (worked with test3)

apparently it's not enabled by default.  rc.sysconfig has changed
from test3, adding "rhgb" to the kernel arguments in grub.conf will
enable it.

apparently, this can be solved by running fc-cache as root.  maybe some
older fontconfig cache that hung around was messing things up.  if it
doesn't work, poking the font paths before running it (I added
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF</dir> to the local.conf in /etc/fonts)
might have an effect.  maybe it's also loading the lucida fonts from
there?  (don't know what exactly Sans and Monospace are aliases for...
the XML files for font configuration are a bit confusing to me.)
