Help: Upgrade messed up XFT/Locale

I upgraded my RedHat 7.3 system to Fedore Core 1.0.  A bunch of the
X and gnome RPMs were not installed; I had to manually remove the older
versions and install the new ones from the CD.  But at this point all of the
XFree86-* and gnome-* RPMs on the install CDs are installed on my system.

The problem: no text on anything - menus, etc.  Scripts complain about
xft-cache not being found.  Xterm looks fine, but nothing else has
fonts.  Font server is running.  Font packages installed.  I also 
get complaints that X doesn't have locale capability, or understand
my locale setting (which was set by Anaconda to en-US.UTF-8, which is what
I want since I use Unicode text extensively).

That the little icon strip at the bottom of the Fedora CORE window
only makes it about halfway across; the last icon is a globe with an arrow,
presumably localization stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.  Here's the output of gnome-session.
(I know I'm missing rpm.py, but I think the problems go beyond that.)
