If you use the transcoded fonts packages (e.g. euro support), install
xfonts.*-transcoded. Install gtk-theme-switch and run switch to set the
default font and font size for GTK1 apps. Run xdpyinfo to check if X
detected the size of your screen correctly. If it didn't, set the
"DisplaySize" option in your XFree configuration file's Monitor section.
