Yes the errors seem to suggest that, but mb-desktop definetly
shouldn't segv if none found :( I will investigate further - there
should always be a fixed font available at least ( built into server )
and it should be able to fall back to that.

I notice your are running with old style X core fonts ( e.g. not Xft
), I *highly* recomment rebuilding libmb with Xft support if possible.
Not only will things look alot nicer but more stable too as nowadays I
rarely build/test with just core fonts.

Yep. Have you tried opening an X client ?

Have you seen http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox/developer.html ?

And of course OpenedHand can always provide consultancy around MB.
