From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-2 Firefox/1.0.3 Description of problem: here's a small beaty wart: when logging into Gnome, the first startup message ('starting Metacity Window Manager') is displayed in small-size fonts - while i have larger fonts defined in my desktop. The next messages are already displayed with the proper fontsize. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.10.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. select larger font size for desktop 2. log out and in 3. see the mismatching font sizes in the startup messages Additional info:
Hmm this might be a gnome-session bug or it might be a GDM bug (xrdb -merge might not be getting called). For now I'm going to assign it to gnome-session.
The issue is moot, since we no longer display the splash screen
