SuSE 9.0 is up and running for me, however, I have always been a Gnome user and SuSE is primarily a KDE-distro. I feel compelled to learn and to like KDE
No need for such extreme measures. If you don't get on with KDE, there's no need to use it at all. The KDE bias of SuSE doesn't mean that Gnome is seriously disadvantaged.
Because these are GTK apps, you would think I could just change my GTK display preferences. To do so I log into Gnome under the same account, from here I increase the font sizes. Everything looks fine; now I log back into KDE, the fonts are unchanged. What's up?
You need to have the gnome-settings-daemon running IIUC. You could install the usr-local-bin.org Gnome upgrades, which set this to run by default, or you could do it yourself. A couple of things, though. First, KDE uses the physical dpi of your monitor but Gnome always uses 96 dpi, so the same point size defined in both environments will be displayed differently. This could also be why you are getting different sizes. To check this, you could run 'gnomecc' (for gtk1) or 'nautilus preferences://' (for gtk2) from within KDE - no need to log into Gnome for this. Finally, I'd recommend using a theme that crosses KDE and Gnome. AFAIK, there is only one theme that does this ATM - Keramik/Geramik. All your apps will then look the same. (Does anyone else know of more such environment-crossing themes?)
