Hi, the fonts in gtk2 apps (menus, dialogs, etc.) appear small and hardly readable, unless I have gnome-settings-daemon running. But... menus and dialogs etc. in Qt apps appear extremely large then. If I go to K Control Center > Appearance > Fonts and adjust the menu of, say, Opera to normal, then the menu fonts of Konsole are way too small. Setting this to normal make other menu fonts appear very large. Button text and dialogs in Opera are way too big and can't be changed. These are just a few examples. In short, gnome-setting-daemon messes up the appearance of Qt apps. I ended up _not_ using gnome-settings-daemon any more, and avoiding gtk2 apps wherever possible. The big unsolved mystery is: why do the gnome2 settings affect Qt??? Can it be switched off? S.H.
