[ltp] R51 - OSD not working

[Florian Dorpmueller]

Because of not having any OSD I made a trial with starting "tpb -v" from a 
konsole.

>From "echo $DISPLAY" as user I get  ":0.0" and "echo "hello world" | 
osd_cat" gives me "Error initializing osd: Default font not found". Setting 
a user font in /etc/tpbrc does't change anything for this.

Additonally I can start any other X application from a konsole (e.g. vlc, 
ooffice, etc.) - no problem here.
