This is true, but we should say that this is in first order a problem
for beginners.
I disagree with this statement. The lack of footprint choosing aids is

I was going through the gEDA tutorial and though it lists footprints
for the tutorial, it does not say how I would determine what footprints
to use for other components. For instance I have a schematic with a
couple LEDs on it and a radial style electrolytic capacitor. The

What I've found myself doing for this is to run PCB and flip through
its footprint library until I find the particular footprint I want,
Of course, if you have an idea of the name of the footprint (i.e. from
Datasheet) one may try

Much more difficult is to ensure that all your
footprints on your PCB board really match with your devices. One has to
do a printout of the PCB board and place all devices on it. Next time,
when you order parts from a different company, you may get other shapes

Just hang in there, it makes more sense
If I order resistors, size 0805, they better fit a 0805 footprint ;-)
Seriously, can you give an example for parts with arbitrary footprint?
