Hi,
I have some annoying gui font sizes problems with icedove 3.0 (i.e. thunderbird) and
iceweasel 4.0 (i.e. firefox) under Trinity on Debian Squeeze.
I use a laptop (1280×800) with a docking station and an external 19" screen
(1280*1024).
When I plug the laptop on its docking station and change display settings to use the
19"
screen, everything resizes correctly (the desktop, trinity apps, etc.) except iceweasel
and icedove that begin to use very huge fonts sizes in gui display (menus, toolbars,
etc.). When I set display back to the laptop screen, the issue is still there.
Recently, I upgraded to iceweasel 4.0 and I remember that I didn't have this issue
with
iceweasel 3.5.x. So I guess this might be linked to a wrong integration of gtk
(libgtk2.0-0, versions above 2.10) into Trinity. Are there too many new features in gtk
that are not well handled by gtk-qt-engine-trinity?
You'll a screenshot of the situation here:

Advice are welcome!

PS: more details on the icedove & iceweasel versions:
I got iceweasel 4.0 (4.0.1-1~bpo60+1) thanks to this backport repository available from
mozilla.debian.net:
http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports/iceweasel-4.0 i386 Packages
I use the Debian stable version of icedove: 3.0.11-1+squeeze2

You could investigate smxi, the Debian "Swiss Army Knife" http://smxi.org/
I have used it for some years, it's really good. The developer was one
of the original Sidux crew.
Among other things there is an option to dump the gtk file handlers for
Mozilla stuff (iceweasel is rebranded mozilla)
Make sure kdm-trinity is closed </etc/init.d/kdm-trinity stop> before
you run it and restart it manually from console </etc/init.d/kdm-trinity
start> , smxi will not automatically detect Trinity and must run with X
closed

Thank you for this very interesting link, even though I didn't investigate this yet.
An update here: I recently discovered that the font size problem doesn't only affect
mozilla softwares but also, for example, the trinity session locker and sometimes konsole
(very small fonts when switching between screens for both of them).
Does anyone understand what's happening here? Alternatively, is there any away I can
force Trinity for set/reset the font sizes on demand?
Thank you a lot,
Nicolas

Of course, I tried to do so using the standard gui (kcmshell fonts) and unfortunately,
this had impacted only the correctly sized fonts (in various apps).
So it seems that the problematic fonts somehow are no more managed by the kde fonts
system.
