Why Am I Here?
I actually Just spent quite a few months playing around with dsl with out actually requesting any guidance whenever I broke something in the system . Unfortunately though, this time I have outdone myself, I think, and it seems as if it is much harder to fix the damage. (at least from my point of view). I would appreciate if someone could guide me along. but please dont go out of your way to find an solution, as I am still trying my best to find an answer (ie Google ,Yahoo, Manuals.) I 'll let everyone know in the event that I feel that I have exahausted my resources to the point where I may as well pay for an answer. However If There' s a Simple solution to my Problem then don't I see why I cant ask for it.

Whats The Trouble?
I am experiencing errors involving pango firefox-gtk2-1.0.4 , and gdk. (exact errors below)

What I Did In The Last 24 Hours B4 The Trouble:
Deleted a Whole bunch of Files that I thought I didnt need --as Root , (I deleted files that came in some dsl packages by adding .tgz to the . dsl, unpacking it as a .tgz and deleting the files from my system that corresponded to the files inside the *.dsl . :
abiword.dsl wavemon.dsl, limewire4.8.0.dsl ymess.dsl xmule.dsl airsnort.dsl and maybe more) Deleted /etc/pang/pango.modules , /etc/pang/pango.aliases (they looked like they were part of abiword.dsl) ---- Installed gphoto2.deb and other *.deb s

What I Tried Already To Solve it:
Reinstalled Gtk2, Reinstallled Firefox-gtk2, Running pango-querymodules , Reinstalled abiword.dsl, inserted files from a Abiword dsl package that had the same name and hierarchy /etc/pang/pango.modules , /etc/pang/pango.aliases :Edit: Changed the Permissions of /etc/pango/ recursively, to rwx-rwx-rwx

About My System:
Im running a HD install of DSL1.5 on a Dell Optiplex Gxa with -CPU=231 MHz , SDRAM=224+swap, HD=2GBcapable- ~120MB free --I have Since installed several mydsl (*.dsl) packages as well as debian (*deb) packeges using apt. I have also attempted to compile several packages from source (ie ./configure, make, make install)

The Errors In Exact Context:

(firefox-bin:1604): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules

there was an error in the creation of:

You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.
