I'm not sure if this applies to Cooker, but it does to mandrake 9.0: Why is the Xft dpi setting hard-coded to 90dpi in /etc/X11/Xresources and /etc/X11/xdm/Xresource? This causes fonts to have a different size between GTK1 and GTK2 apps. i.e. specifying a font of 12pts will use the X res (usually 75 or 100) for GTK1, but GTK2 (which use Xft) will render at 90dpi.
Why not just start X at 90dpi in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers by passing --dpi 90. This way *all* apps would be using the same resolution. Craig. When words aren't enough - Vodafone live!
