But, maybe, before I try it, I need to understand an be sure how.... "GTK-Qt Theme Engine The GTK-Qt Theme Engine is a project allowing GTK to use Qt wiki:/widget styles. It behaves like a normal GTK theme engine, but calls functions from Qt instead of doing the drawing itself." .... is gonna preserve Gnome (gtk) app font changes under KDE. The fonts are the tool & task bar, dialog boxes, menus, tabs, etc., in gtk apps. Not theme an widget styles, or are you saying this will affect gtk app fonts too? It seems it will, but then you're stuck with the 'GTK-Qt Theme'. FWIW, Tom's suggestion to use '/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &' works, but is just as much bother as (my solution) runnin 'g-f-p &' an then clickin off the GUI. Neither survives logout tho. I've looked at xinitrc an Xclients, but I'm not sure at all if this (these) are suitable files for '/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &', or where/how to add. I know a solution exists, cause as I've said, Mandriva's (KDE centric) had it for over a year, any theme. An I don't think it's an 'upstream' problem either. Even if it is, whose? OTOH, since I run rawhide, I'm really lookin for a permanent fix an not a hack. I'm not tryin to be obstinate, but it appears I'm really better off with my or Tom's work-around. I gather from Rahul's comments that this would be a 'Won't Fix' issue for FC. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
