KDE will antialias fonts, but won't alph ablend the icons.  I imagine the
fonts are alpha blended against the background, so yes, I think that
works.

Checking gdk...  When I ldd /usr/bin/gfontsel, for example, it links to
both libXft and libXrender.  libgdk.so.* are all built today from the
patched source.  weird.

Checking xpdyinfo again.  It shows RENDER as an extension, but not
Xrender.  Should it show Xrender too?  If so, I'll have to try rebuilding
the rpm with the proper switches and things.
