Forgive me if this sounds lame but:

I've just updated my system from Suse 8.2 to 9.2 (long story). Everything seems to be working fine except I get a lot of problems with fontconfig (2.2.96).

1) It occasionally causes Firefox (1.0.3) to refuse to load, meaning i have to restart X.
2) Gimp refuses to load saying:

The Fontconfig version being used is too old!

The GIMP requires Fontconfig version 2.2.0 or later.
The Fontconfig version loaded by The GIMP is 1.0.2.

This may be caused by another instance of libfontconfig.so.1
being installed in the system, probably in /usr/X11R6/lib.
Please correct the situation or report it to someone who can.

3) With both the above I get several instances of:

Fontconfig warning: "suse-post-user.conf", line xxx: invalid edit binding "same"


There are versions of libfontconfig.so.1 in both /usr/lib and /etc/X11R6/lib - with the former being the most recent version.

Where do I go from here?
