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
