GTK apps ignore subpixel hinting settings

Firefox's "browse" button is a self-implemented XUL button not a gtk
one, just using GTK+ for theming.
Firefox just uses GTK for theming, but itself is no GTK application.

Thanks I'll have a look shortly.
I hope there is a way without using gnome-settings daemon,
it used to work so well in the past and your setup seems rather complicated.

Thanks, Clemens
