font problem

[Christian Arthaber <c3rv@gmx.at>]

hi

i have a problem concerning the menu fonts in gnome2. when i start the
computer the fonts sometimes, but not always, are very tiny. When i
restart X using Ctrl-Alt-Bsp the fonts are rendered correctly in the way
i chose them at desktop-preferences/fonts. 
the problem only seems to occur on startup, not when i reboot the
machine. 
i checked my xf86config and my xftconfig and compared them to the
configfiles of some friends of mine, but they were identical.

any help or even hint would be appreciated.
