If you want to change this for all applications that use gtk, here is how:Thanks Martin, I'm sure that's a good workaround for text size.
But I'd like to use different themes too, those gnome widgets are kinda ugly :)
On further investigation it seems this is related to the gnome-settings-daemon. If I start x with a full gnome-session, all the apps pick up the gnome theme and font settings. If I start them outside of a gnome-session they don't.
I can also start up X11, start gnome-settings-daemon manually (spews errors but works), and then start the apps and they pick up the prefs fine too.
If I could find a way to launch gnome-settings-daemon without from my .xinitrc it'd probably be ok, but I can't seem to get that to work well.
I suppose what I really want is a rootless Gnome session - but from my reading that doesn't seem to be possible these days. Right?
