Now, here's where it gets odd. I poked around various preference categories displayed in the Gnome control center. When I activated the "Theme" category / module, suddenly all the ugly went away. The fonts resized and crude control appearances reset to the nicer ones I'm accustomed to.
Lucky me, I guess.
Well, all was not quite as rosy as I'd thought. There were two lurking problems: 1) KDE applications opened subsequent to the change I made via Gnome Control Center all exhibited reduced font sizes. 2) Upon logging out and back in, everything was reset to its state before I applied the theme change in Gnome Control Center. So... How do I make changes that apply only to the Gnome applications when they're running under KDE? And how do I make those changes persistent across logins? Randall Schulz
