Sorry, no can do with the gmane ML gateway I'm using.  Hope you see this on
the mailing list.

You appear to have at least one CR character in your .startxwinrc file.  Use
d2u on the file to get rid of it/them.  If that alone doesn't fix your
issue, you may need to add 'xset fp rehash' after the existing 'xset'
command.  Be sure not to add more CR chars if you edit the file again :-) .
