System name:		tailgunner
Type and version:	KN01 7.2P
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
Login to a decmips running 7.2.

What's wrong:
I set the font path with:
	attach OldXfonts
	xset fp+ /mit/OldXfonts
However, the font path is set to
/etc/athena/login/fonts/,/mit/OldXfonts/. (So, a lot of the fonts I use
aren't found.) Doing xset fp default, and
then xset -q, shows the *default* font path to be
/etc/athena/login/fonts, which is clearly incorrect. The funny part is
that this only happens the *first* time I login to tailgunner; if I
logout, and back in right away, the font path is set correctly. 

What should have happened:
The default font path should be set correctly when you login. 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man xset (?)
