Hi jozsefmak If you use kde, kdeinit is already invoked at startup. Synaptic on the other hand is a gnome application so you need to add gnome-settings-daemon & to your .xsession. Firefox uses its own font settings, you can change them under Preferences > General therefore it looks a bit different. I'm sorry if my suggestion was a bit unclear. I use enlightenment and have to load both subsystems. Hope this helps, Nikolai -- "1984" is not a howto! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
