OK, this is Mandrake 9.2 Download edition. I thought this important enough to start a new thread even though I mentioned it here:

Well, the only thing I've seen so far that I don't like are some of the application menus. For example under KDE the menus for Galeon, Mozilla, & most if not all Gnome applications have painfully small menu bar fonts. Gnome applications when run under KDE also have very small fonts in their dialogue boxes.
All KDE applications are easily customized thru KDE Control Center. I'm not sure what the problem is with these other non KDE applications. I can reboot to Gnome and set the default font sizes with no problems using that window manager.
The preferences menu for these applications seem to have no effect when using KDE as your window manager.

As some of you may have seen, I have had some major font problems since doing an upgrade from Mandrake 9.0 to 9.2 the other night. I couldn't make any headway so I did a clean install of Mandrake 9.2 but no joy.
Of all places, I got a hint to a solution to my problem from a SuSe mailing list:

You have to start the gnome-control-center daemon on every start of kde to maintain the setttings of gnome. Put a symobilic link link to . . . . . . .

The only problem was that under Mandrake 9.2 the paths are completely different. Does anyone besides me wish there was a little more standardization? Oh, well. I finally figured it out and believe me I'm not a console dude.
cd /home/mike/.kde/Autostart
ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon
After creating this symbolic link I had HUGE fonts. I had been booting to Gnome and increasing the font sizes hoping that would influence the Gnome app fonts when run under KDE. It did after creating the symbolic link and I had to reboot to Gnome to readjust my font sizes.
I hope this helps someone else if they run into this problem. You must substitute your user name for mike in the first line.
