When I am using a tile window manager, no matter which (awesome,
xmonad, dwm, wmii, etc, because I have tried them all and I leave them
always with the default configuration from the install) I first start
an application and it's fine, it's fonts are normal sized. I change
the resolution with xrandr -s 1400x1050 (I have a HP 19' widescreen
monitor and when I open xmonad it starts with 800x600 resolution). But
when I open a second application, it's fonts are terribly huge.
This doesn't happen if I don't change the resolution with xrandr. The
second applications fonts are the same size with the first one.
I don't get it.....why does this happen???? How can I fix it for
xmonad?? Please, Help!!!
Thanx in advance! |

This may be caused by changes to the X resources. GNOME and KDE apps can
change the X resources in ways that are not always wanted. There may be
ways to disable that change when you start a GNOME or KDE app.
X resources were one of the first ways that X had to provide settings for
things like colors, and fonts. It seems that GNOME and KDE don't use these
for their themes, so they attempt to make applications that do use the X
resources inherit a GNOME/KDE-like appearance.
There is also a -remove flag for xrdb (see: xrdb(1)) that may do what you
want.
You could compare the database before and after with this:
$ xrdb -query -all

I'm not replying to your question, but I did try 'awesome' recently to see
what the hype was about... and I couldn't figure out what to do with it. I
couldn't even find the most simple tutorial, you know, about how to close a
window or make it full screen. Isn't there a control menu somewhere ?
Options ?
All I could find were highly intricate command lines and config fines which
are useless once you are already _in_ awesome.
