The remaining cases I've seen of this have been down to the user having
an old xorg.conf from either Feisty or an old tribe release. In at
least one case, removing the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines in Monitor
and rebooting completely resolved it.
Or just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
I've got the same problem as Khorne describes, and many other people.
This should be a critical bug and a fix put out pdq because NUBE's are
throwing Ubuntu away when they experience their first hassle before even
getting to their desktop.

I installed a system with Tribe 5, and its fonts were somewhat large. After
further updates, I saw the regression with gnome-terminal that others
reported (fonts too small to see). With the latest updates in Gutsy,
everything is working fine, with appropriate font sizes both in the terminal
