Aah.  Now I've found how to break them up.  Thanks.

Agreed.  My only slight reservation is that some tools now don't work at 
all when you select the smallest fuzzy shape, and the next size up is 
too big sometimes.

Thanks, I had entirely missed the tabs.

That will explain why I have the same issue with gnumeric.  I shall have 
to delve into /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to see what dpi I have set.  And I 
suppose when I have time also into /etc/gtk/gtkrc or somewhere to look 
for the theme.

Thanks for the guidance.
