Unstable release: Why is pango so unhappy???

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Since I run from a command line login [init level 3], I thought I would
trap any messages that were being written to a virtual terminal that I
never look at:

	startx > startx.log 2>&1 

A quick check shows that startx.log is growing rapidly.  An oft repeated
message is

	`pango_font_description_get_size (desc) != 0' failed

This message appears over and over with each application that is
running. For example:

(gnome-session:7625): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_context_load_font:
assertion `pango_font_description_get_size (desc) != 0' failed

(gnome-panel:7823): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_context_load_font:
assertion `pango_font_description_get_size (desc) != 0' failed

(gnome-terminal:7825): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_context_load_font:
assertion `pango_font_description_get_size (desc) != 0' failed

(evolution-2.4:7827): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_context_load_font:
assertion `pango_font_description_get_size (desc) != 0' failed

Thoughts???
