So if you have gnome running on one vt and wmaker on another whoever initialized first gets the decent fonts and the other guy the ugly ones.. weird. also I sometimes run a low-res X session with dri enabled - things like tuxracer or heretic2 go there :-) .. (not enough video ram on this laptop's video chip..) and the fonts I get now w/o this daemon running are illegible. wonder what's causing this.. but as I said elsewhere my gtk is broken so I'll have to take another look when/if I manage to repair it. >If you use KDE apps as well, you should install the gtk-qt theme located at: > >http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt > > >You can now configure you theme in kcontrol under "gtk Style and fonts".

One other thing I like about KDE is the very thin resize bars. Makes NeXT-ish stuff look more modern on the higher resolution displays that most people have these days.. wish this was customizable in wmaker.. >If you want a good NeXTstep theme, you should give newstep- >http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11232 a try. > > won't even ./configure properly on this sytem. :-( Seems it can't find the C++ compiler..??
