If it works, what should happen is that even without gnome-control-center running, it may change the font size on you, and you'll have to adjust it from there back to something readable, but then it should keep it regardless of gnomeCC running or not. Interesting screen shot. I've never seen the gmail interface b4, so it was educational for that, anyway. As for the menu, I didn't see a menu in the screen shot (unless it was that small white block above the right top of the browser window, in which case, yes, that /is/ small). In any case, what might be happening is that you have fonts adjusted to one extreme to make up for the default at the other extreme. If that's the case. then when set "right", it might still appear very small. One thing I did for awhile was set KDE to start gnome-control-center when it started, so everything got adjusted to use the gnomeCC sizes, then I simply reset the fonts to something comfortable in that case, which of course would mean they'd be HUGE if I didn't start gnomeCC, but since I was starting it with KDE, all was fine. Of course, after I figured out the issue and fixed it in xorg.conf, I didn't have to worry about that any longer. Do note that as I said, I haven't run fluxbox here, so I'm just going off of what happened with KDE and gnomeCC. I expect it's the same issue, but the effect may be somewhat different on the different WM/X-environment, and may not respond to exactly the same work-arounds/fixes. If the DisplaySize thing doesn't help, try running gnomeCC at fluxbox start every time, and adjust your fonts to work correctly then. If that doesn't work, perhaps the only thing that will is not to run gnomeCC except by itself, then immediately restart fluxbox after you are done. In any case, I certainly know the frustration you are experiencing, having gone thru similar problems here, so even if I can't help, you at least know there's someone else that has had the issue and understands what it can be like (altho if that small rectangle /is/ your menu, it appears you certainly have a more extreme case than I did!). -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
