*Don't* use the '--' when grep'ing for a font name! And it's so much  
easier to

        xlsfonts -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*'

No, I am not using a Debian based Linux. Other suggestions: locate .el  
| egrep '^/etc', launch GNU Emacs as

	emacs [...] -eval '(defadvice load (before debug-log activate)  
(message "(Tipp von Kai G) Lade jetzt: %s" (ad-get-arg 0)))'

Lsof certainly is the wrong choice: it can only list files kept open  
by some process at this moment, not those once temporarily opened and  
now closed. And I am more familiar with DTrace in Solaris or Mac OS X...
