Also to play around with the dpi to see if that is the problem you can
run
startx -- -dpi 100
If all this solves the problem then we can go back to gdm and see what
its doing wrong.
You could also try starting X through gdm and through kdm and each time
do a ps ax after startup and see if there is a difference in the
running programs, could be kdm is starting some server in the
background (I know evolution had really ugly fonts for me until I
found out I had to start gnome-settings-daemon).
