Does it work? This is likely harmless.
However, we should be making use of the fact that this file 
(.fonts.cache-2) is now in its own directory. I specifically filed a bug 
to get it moved, and now we should write policy to take advantage of 
that, by:

- prelabeling this folder with the correct type in our profile script, 
or any future solution, so that the cache can be created with the 
correct type by libfontconfig

- allowing programs that need to read fonts to read that type
   (moving font-related macros from the old strict policy into the new 
refpol).

It's unfortunate all those problems were solved in the old strict 
policy, and now they all have to be re-solved for refpol.

This isn't very helpful - what is it trying to write to - grep for 21844.
(Does lsof show that number?)
