Bug 449848 - Startup: initialize fontconfig in the background ...
... to avoid long pause on start On non-Linux operating systems the fontconfig cache is often not initialized by default. The first time GIMP was launched, this led to a non-responding application, confusing many users. The initialization of fontconfig has now been moved to a separate thread. The main thread will wait for this fontconfig thread to complete, regularly pulsing the UI. This patch was partly based on an earlier patch by Tor Lillqvist.
