Hi list,
I don't actually know how to explain this problem in an understandable
way...
I have an external 24' Sun monitor running at 1280x800 plugged into my
laptop (1280X800).
I start X without the external monitor, I plug it in, and press the keys
combination to enable it on my laptop. Everything looks fine on it.
Then, I exit X, restart it, and some applications looks differently.
Please look at [1] and [2] for partial screenshots before and after
restarting X, at [3] for my xorg.conf and at [4] for my Xorg.0.log
Any ideas?
Thanks very much!

P.S. x11@ please CC me
Pietro,
I have seen this behavior typically occur when gnome-settings-daemon
doesn't shut down properly from my previous session, before I start up
GNOME again. In addition, this is how all of my GNOME apps look when I
try running them without gnome-settings-daemon. I suspect that when you
X server restarted, your apps were not able to contact
gnome-settings-daemon over DBUS and defaulted their fonts/rendering.
Try this:
1) Start X.org again, after a fresh reboot
2) Exit X.org
3) Use ps auxww to see if there are any gnome related programs still running
4) Kill them all (a good trick I use is to log in as 'root' in another
VT, and killall -9 -u myusername)
5) Log in as your user again and try starting X.org (and the fonts
should look like [1])
