[Xquartz-dev] Leopard X11 2.3.2

[Merle Reinhart]

On top of that, /usr/X11/etc/fonts/fonts.conf doesn't look right as it  
contains a non-existent directory and only points at /usr/X11R6 (which  
works for now due to the symlink).

Agreed this constant changing around of where the various  
configuration files reside is a real pain.
