Unfortunatly, Gnome applications do not interact well with non-Gnome environments. E.g. to change fonts or colors you will have to execute 'gnome-settings-daemon'. But this application is very invasive and overrides ~/.Xmodmap and ~/.Xresources settings (without having a way to prevent this) so it is a good idea to avoid Gnome-applications outside of a Gnome-environment. On the other side, firefox is not very much affected by Gnome settings and it would be wise to decouple it completly (e.g. do not use the Gnome filedialog anymore, and do not link against gtk2 because this requires the Gnome fontsettings with the sideeffects mentioned above). Epiphany is much more worse regarding coupling: basic webbrowser setup like proxy configuration is a gnome thing, and afair there is no way to configure this from inside of epiphany. Enrico
