You need USE="png" for imlib2, and it seems to miss some X11 fonts.
Weird it works for a fifferent user. Maybe you have a special config for the regular user?

Well, as far as I know, there is no special config...
Any idea what the fonts problem could be caused by? I think that's what's killing it, cause the other user also gets image load errors. (and I don't really care for the backgrounds that it's gonna load anyway) |

Well, in case you don't have them already, try installing media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi and/or media-fonts/font-misc-misc

I already had them, and re-emerging didn't help.
The other user don't get any error messages about the fonts, but slocate can't find any such files...
When I get home after the weekend, I'll compare installed font packages with another computer of mine. (Where it works)
Edited thread name to better suggest what problem I want to fix 
didn't help me  |

qlist -I | grep -i font gives me the same list on my home computer as this one.
re-emerging every one of those packages also didn't help. |

I ran into this exact issue after an upgrade.
Make sure you have imlib2 with png support.
I added 'png' (as well as other image formats) to /etc/make.conf, then
# emerge --newuse world
Overkill perhaps.
I then went town on the font installs, emerging:
media-fonts/corefonts-1-r4
media-fonts/cronyx-fonts-2.3.1-r2
media-fonts/encodings-1.0.2
media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.0
media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.0
media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.1
media-fonts/font-alias-1.0.1
media-fonts/font-bh-type1-1.0.0
media-fonts/font-misc-cyrillic-1.0.0
media-fonts/font-util-1.0.1
media-fonts/freefonts-0.10-r3
media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std-8.11
media-fonts/intlfonts-1.2.1
media-fonts/terminus-font-4.28
media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3
Overkill, perhaps.
Then added each dir from '/usr/share/fonts' to /etc/X11/xorg.conf FontPath, restarted X, and voila. |

I just re-read that part of your post. I suspect the changes I mentioned may work. but since some of your users can use Eterm, I'd compare the contents of
~.Eterm/themes/Eterm/* for the accounts that do and don't work.
Simply copying the theme.cfg and/or user.cfg from the user that can launch Eterm would probably do it. It's here that Eterm specifies the fonts, etc it tries to load.

Hey, thanks for helping me out
I have tried "fixing" imlib, which does remove the png error messages, but still leaves the fonts problem.
Re-emerged all the fonts (copied your list this time), still doesn't help.
No user has a ~.Eterm at all...
Added all font dirs to a fontpath line, to no avail
*cry* |

I had that problem on a new install because the fontpath in the xorg.conf didn't include the needed fonts.
got something like this there now:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/freefonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/terminus"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/unifont"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/artwiz"
# FontPath "built-ins"
EndSection |

Well, I did add the fonts dir I had. Anyway, I'm no longer working with that computer anymore, any the user that can start eterm uses it, so right now I don't care anymore.
Thanks all of you for taking your time and try to help me. |
