waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. I have seen this message for the past few years in various Linux distros and now in NetBSD 3.0 when logging out of X and into console. What seems to be the cause of this and what is the fix?
I just installed 7.0 on Gentoo, and guess what? X is doing the samething, this is really a issue with X concerning all Linux/Unix systems, but does anyone have a answer, or fix for this? I have been looking into this for the past two years, and have not come up with anything, so I submitted this bug report in hopes of finally getting a answer. Thank you.

Sorry I submitted a reply twice, my mistake. Thank you.
I chased this down at one point. It was something like refcounting the FPE twice, once for fixed and once for cursor, and then destroying the FPE without destroying both font references first. It's harmless, but it's certainly irritating.
So is there a fix for this? THANKS
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
I wonder if this was fixed with 28b6b1519c4c526662302fac4ed9b7f540bafd4a loader: Simplify handle allocation and refcounting. I remember seeing this error myself but can't find it in my logfiles, neither 1.6 nor master ones. Can you still reproduce this?
