Well, it's not your fault, the fact that you've different way to configure fontconfig is quite odd, and I don't know how it can handled correctly, and I don't know why all apps don't react the same way. The ~/.fonts.conf was most likely created by kde. Gnome only exports Xft resources. Kde does that too, but also write the ~/.fonts.conf file. So I don't even know if it's a gnome, kde, or fontconfig bug :p
