And you get ugly fonts, which makes the desktop almost unreadable, i am
sure a bit more of advice is needed to have this working properly (like
installing the right font packages, and maybe configuring X
accordyingly).

If we want to not be drowned in such questions, it would be good to have
a README.AntialiasedFonts or something such in an easily available place
(like in /usr/share/doc/gnome2 ?), which gives all the steps of setting
up antialiased fonts. Or point to the proper howto or something such.
