Comment (by mcs):

 I am not sure what is going on. Only one restart should be required. How
 did mrphs fix the whitelist problem? Can someone provide a reproducible
 test case?

 While discussing this ticket with me, Kathy pointed out that changes made
 to Linux the start up script will not go in effect until that script is
 re-run, which does not happen during a "restart after update." I am not
 sure how to easily fix that, but it will prevent the
 FONTCONFIG_PATH/FONTCONFIG_FILE env variable changes made for #16672 from
 taking effect until a full "exit/start again" kind of restart is done.
