I see this is pretty unclear if you don't see it. So I've made a screen
dump and put it at:  http://www.duskware.com/capture.jpg

The xconsole there is just "xconsole", with default font. The window title
has the right size, but the content is just wrong. On the desktop background
you see the icon/shortcut labels, which are slightly too large (but not much).
The two computer icons had their labels not overlap before this problem
started.

The gnome terminal you can see partly below mozilla is definitively bigger
than it used to be (with unchanged app defaults, but then I reinstalled all
gnome pkgs, so this *may* be related, but I'm not sure).

The mozilla looks larger than usual to me too, but that may be just my eyes
fooling me, since everything else is out of proportions.

Strange, isn't it?
