Re (3): I think you have to install gnome-settings-daemon also and activate it on each session startup.
Ummm...don't know about that. I am 99% sure I do not have it installed. As per #3, I have only the absolutely necessary files, gnome-control-center and whatever it required. I also do not have the .xsessionrc file although there is a template there for it.
gnome-control-center does set font sizes for you in the windows of the apps, gimp, gqview, firefox, etc. The really annoying thing is the teeny tiny fonts in the menus and sub-menus (dialogs)
Well, I have gnome-control-center installed and gnome-settings-daemon activated from .xinitrc (you can create .xsessionrc if you need to), and I no longer see the tiny fonts. But as someone else pointed out, there may be disadvantages because gnome fights with KDE under some circumstances. Hasn't afflicted me yet, though. Paul
