I investigated a little. The only thing I changed was installing the
GNUstep libraries to comoile a game. After that, my .GNUstep conf
directory for WindowMaker was not recognized, I had to rename it GNUstep.
I found a .gtkrc-2.0 file in my home directory. I put
gtk-font-name = "Sans 12"
instead of "Arial 8", and all is back to normal. Can't figure out what
happened.

PS : and please don't tell me I need to buy a new monitor, or buy
ANYthing. The one thing I don't want to do now is spend the money I don't
have :-(
