Description of problem: I have tried to change my appearance (spicifically fonts) from the kcontrol. After changing the appearance i have logged into the Gnome session. I surprised to see my hinting is enabled in Gnome, though it was not enabled. I have tried to change the hintings from the Kcontrol and Gnome's Main menu => preferences => Fonts => Details => Hinting. But the result remains the same. After that i have removed ~/.fonts.conf file, and logged into Gnome again. Then only my hinting is disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): KDE Control Center: 3.3.1-2.1 Red Hat How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.Change fonts from kcontrol 2.logout 3.login into Gnome session, you can find enabled hinting. Actual results: Affect the hinting style. Expected results: Don't affect the hinting. Additional info:
Moving to correct component: [root@wow ~]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/kcontrol kdebase-3.4.0-5
does it appear in FC4 devel tree?
Yes it's there on FC4 devel tree also !!!
Just now i got new thing. Open "kcontrol" (control-center). Click on "Appearance". Now when you click on "Fonts" in that then only it will create automatically ~/.fonts.conf automatically. Simply you can say that when you click on "Fonts" in the "Appearance" tab then "kcontrol" will create ~/.fonts.conf according to the settings in the "Fonts" tab and make it default, So it may be used in Gnome also.

This problem was found in rawhide too.
Clone to Fedora devel based on Comment #7.
Closing out based on bug 208360 conclusion.
