I was previously having an issue with inconsistent font sizes in GTK and QT
applications running in the two desktop environments. In gnome, all my KDE
applications would have tiny font sizes, while in KDE, gnome apps would have
tiny font sizes also. Then, when I switched back to gnome, they would all have
huge font sizes, since I had ramped them up in KDE to be able to see them.
The exception to this rule was openoffice 3.0, which looked beautiful and
exactly the same in both environments.
I corrected this problem by adjusting the dpi value in gnome-control-manager -
appearance - font - details, to bring it into line with the value that was being
reported to me by the command "xdpyinfo | grep resol", and then setting the
system fonts on both sides to the same values.
Now, my font sizes are consistent between gnome and KDE apps. But OpenOffice,
while it still looks exactly the same under KDE, in gnome is illegibly small.
This affects the UI and also the fonts within documents.
If I use the value Tools > Options > openoffice.org > view > scaling to
compensate for this, then everything is huge when I switch back to KDE.
Selecting "Uses system font for user interface" appears to have no effect.
How can I convince openoffice.org to recognise the change in the gnome screen
dpi value and adjust for it?

Thank you
