I am running Gentoo and the Gnome system is at v2.10. I have not been able to find an application called, "gnome-settings-daemon". I am guessing you are using an earlier Gnome or the Gentoo folks have rewired my Gnome somehow. BTW, I boot my system into run-level 3 and start X11 by hand. I am running Xfce4, v4.2.2. In any event, I have not yet been able to understand how your advice and experience relates to my system, but I'm still working on it. This problem does not exist with AbiWord. I can type a multi-line paragraph into it and the Preview is identical to screen version. The only application I see this problem with is Gnumeric. OpenOffice is fine also. BWT, I have tried many fonts, both common and obscure. The problem is consistent. I'm beginning to think it is a Gnumeric thing and not the fault of the Gnome under-pinnings.
