   Yep, that would help ;)   An sounds like a 'fix'. Maybe no BZ is 
needed. Thanks again, you been most helpful, an your description 
does sound most encouragin Joel.

   FWIW, I did use yum to remove gtk-qt-engine an then installed it 
again just a short time ago. Same result. BTW, it introduces 2 "GTK 
Styles and Fonts" entries into kcontrol (both installs).  But, as 
you allude to, this is rawhide, an I'd already reckoned to keep 
tryin it again.  I figure the (extras) maintainer might not be up 
with current kernel, or some other current FC6 issues. If I file a 
BZ on anything, this'll probly be the candidate. After a time ;)

   Anyhow, as I keep protestin, I already have a viable work around. 
Anyhow, I think it's time to return this thread back to it's 
original intent... that of arrangin default 'DejaVu fonts for 
Fedora Core 6 feedback call'.  Even if they're tiny an the dpi is 
wrong, an changes won't survive logout ;)
