after i forced the old pango package off the 6 release iso i was able to
get xorg to work and have all the applications working fine except
mozilla... i rebuild firefox but every time i try to start it (or mozilla)
i get this crap.. which libraries are those. gnome's?!

ok. well lets see this time...  maybe somebody will actually read this...

thanks.....
