problems with fonts/menus in opera-linux under netbsd

["Dennis den Brok" <d.den.brok%uni-bonn.de@localhost>]

Hi,

Opera 9.01 and 9.10 under linux emulation from NetBSD 3.1, 4.99.3 and  
4.0_BETA2 (SuSE10*) with native XF4.5 and modular x.org from pkgsrc do  
strange things: some UI texts aren't displayed, for instance those  
indicating download progress in the download manager, and menus disappear  
when others, e.g. sub-menus, are closed. On the terminal where I issued  
"startx", messages like "XFree86-Bigfont extension: shmget() failed, size  
= ..., error = 12" are printed, which might be the reason for the font  
problem. I've been seeing this for a long time and now increasingly wonder  
whether I'm the only one. In any case, is there a proposed fix? TIA.
