Hi,

This is on a more-or-less stock Mandrake 9.0.

When I run GTK apps (both gtk1 and gtk2) under KDE, the font types and
sizes are all set to some horrid default.  If I run
gnome-settings-daemon before running gtk apps under KDE, then the gtk2
apps use the fonts specified from gnome-control-center.  However, doing
this causes the KDE desktop to vanish (I guess gnome-settings-daemon is
replacing the X root window?)

Additionally, the mouse cursor is set to the left-right double arrow
when over most gtk widgets (both gtk1 and gtk2).

The fonts also appear differently - when I start Konqueror under Gnome2,
it clearly uses the same font as under KDE, but at a larger size.  When
I start gtk2 apps under KDE, they are clearly using the same font, but
at a smaller size.

I have screenshots demonstrating this behavior at:

(unfortunately KSnapshot doesn't seem to capture the mouse cursor, but
in the two Gedit screenshots, the cursor looks like <->  )

Any idea what might be causing this?

Regards,

Walter Chang
