From: Γιώργος Πάλλας on
The problem with the missing font was solved after installing
xfonts-base (I really thought this was a prerequisite dependency for
X-windows so I did not think to check that...)

Now something more strange tortures me:

KDE comes up with garbled graphics ( http://tinypic.com/r/dgjv43/4 ).

~/.xsession-errors gives some error messages but nothing I can understand:

Any ideas? I also tried realvnc from windows as a viewer in case the
problem was in the client side, but again the same problem...
