Subject:    Bug#11898: Current KDE2 does horrible things to xterm fonts

Package: kde
Version: CVS 26092000

System: Solaris 2.7 / Sparc

The current snapshot is causing xterm to start with a horrible font 
spacing (I think it's using a helvetica font). 

I have the option to use kde fonts and colours in non-kde apps disabled.

It was behaving fine with earlier versions (like the day before 
yesterday) and using xterm's fonts menu to pick a new font size reverts 
it to a usable font.

There is a work around namely:

1) Enable use of kde fonts in non-kde apps in kcontrol
2) Change the general font to a fixed font in kcontrol
3) Create an xterm (might not actually be needed but probably is)
4) Disable use of kde fonts in non-kde apps in kcontrol
5) Change the general font back to something usable.

Sorry about setting this to package=kde but I really don't know if it's 
in one of the libraries or kwin.

?????????

James
