No problem. Just rename 'fs' to 'Xfs' or somesuch and write a
nasty letter to Bob Schiefler & co. It has to be started by hand
anyway. The more serious problem is that for some inexplicable reason
they decided to use port 7000 as the default service port - which,
fortunately, can be changed on the command line. You'll just have to
coach your users to specify port 6010 in their fontpaths ala
