First off... the GDEF foo... make sure you upgrade pango.  That should  
be fixed upstream as of last week's release:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577952

If you're still seeing it with the new pango, you need to isolate what  
font is causing the problem.  Look at that bug report to see how I did  
that.

Now for RandR... just ignore the informative message...

Not exactly.  It's on the back burner at the moment.  It's useful for  
games (wine) from a control perspective, and it's nice for everyone  
else from a notification perspective.

That's not how it works.  We need to translate the native  
notifications that the X server receives into RandR notifications.   
Similarly, we need to translate the RandR commands into API calls to  
change the resolution.
