As I said, though, it's the font that's the problem - KDE's control cente=
r
manages most other things but doesn't get the font setting right.

Putting a line like 'gtk-font-name =3D "Adobe Helvetica 14" ' into ~/.gtk=
rc-2.0
used to work, but doesn't seem to do anything any longer (Gnome 2.12). Is=
 this
a peculiarity of SUSE 10.0, or does anyone know how this is handled?
