   I came from Mandriva cooker to FC5-test2 last January. I use to 
do what you describe, run g-f-p immediately after login. Now I have 
to do the same again for FC. As I already have the values I want, I 
then just need to click off the GUI an my gtk fonts are larger, 
close to KDE values. I also set the proper dpi (87) for my 19" 
1280x1024 LCD in g-f-p an that affects both KDE an Gnome font 
sizes. (I haven't installed DejaVu fonts)

   As you say tho, gtk settings are lost on logout. 'Bout a year 
before I left cooker, this issue had been solved, an gtk settings 
survived reboots, logout/in.  I don't remember which Mdv 
developer(s) was responsible for this, or even if the person(s) is 
still with Mdv. But the solution exists, an I'd think contact with 
Mdv could soon bring the 'fix' to FC. If requested, I can post a 
copy of my Mdv (on or offlist) /etc/fonts/conf.d   (I dual boot 
current rawhide, an 2006 updated to Community).
