Function of a function problem

I sort of assumed that Mathematica should readily solve function of
function equations like ...

Equn = { f [x_]  == f [ f [x] ] - 2 x }

Solve[Equn, f , x]

, but it does not. Is there a better some other way to code it? This
is  based on William Elliot's post in sci.math
