Hmmm... Since the reason for this setting would be the lack of a working
font path with the system (almost a bug in the OS' XF86Config, IMO), thus 
the lack of a bunch of fonts (a detectable condition), we could even pop a 
message up (ONCE !) pointing the user to the manual/to the FAQ on how to 
tweak this diarc setting. This would help us be very comfortable with 
ignoring PEBKAC/googlelessness/lack of FAQ-reading skills-type of questions 
on that topic.
