To go a bit further on this stuff, I have run into an interesting problem.

I'm using KDE on my system, but I have some gnome utilities that I also use. 
They all use GTK for the GUI. My problem is the font size is inconveniently 
large. I can fix this with gnome-font-properties, but it also changes my font 
sizes in bash, konqueror and kmail. Is there a way to change just the two 
applications I want to change (gftp and azureus)?
