In an earlier post in this thread I noted that I've used gnome-control-center to change the font size for the Firefox menu bar to a larger value. I much prefer this method over fiddling with the DPI for two reasons: it's more flexible (allows changing the font face also) and simpler. It's also simpler than learning about Chrome.css, which I wouldn't need for any other purpose.
The only problem is that the change doesn't stick, I've discovered. Once I log out, the effect is lost, and I have to repeat the operation on each login. (My previous choice is remembered by gnome-control-center, however.) So is there a way to either make the choice stick or to recreate it automatically as part of ~/.xinitrc? Someone mentioned gnome-settings-daemon, but I can't locate it in the 10.0 distribution. Maybe it's there, but in what package?
And by the way, the KDE control center does not affect the Firefox menu font at all.

There is a save settings on exit "feature" of the GNOME, reminiscent of the bad old days of the CDE. If you are not setting this up while running a GNOME session, that may be the problem. Steven
