When I run at 1600x1200 I have the same problems on my machine as well. I 
knew it had something to do with Qt/KDE and dpi sizes, but I don't know where 
to fix it. I don't care that much since I 'm back to 1280x1024 anyway which 
works fine.

But the problem _ONLY_ occurs with Qt/KDE apps, not with Gtk Apps like Gimp, 
Mozilla or StarOffice, nor with plain X apps. To make it even more confusing: 
when I start X with my monitor turned _OFF_ the fonts are much smaller, the 
size they should be, and they remain that size until X is restarted with the 
monitor on. It's clearly some Qt or KDE internal setting that is loaded 
during startup, but I don't know where

I hope someone finds this info useful,

Martijn
