It seems that my resources, in my .Xresources and my font path are once
again messed up.
Just after logging in, my console window disappeared, the screen went
blank, the X server seemed to reset, and then my windows started
appearing (and I was prompted for their locations, since normally that
is what is in my .Xresources). Also the windows are default colors, as
opposed to being "reverse video", as also specified in my resources.

Here is my ~/.windows file, which controls it all... I suspect that the
config_console is closing the console, which might be the only
application that has open connections to the X server (thus I am
experiencing a race condition). (No other windows had yet appeared by
the time the config_console had run).

Something should hold the X server connection, just in case someone
decides to run config_console after loading their resources.
