Hi jozsefmak
If you use kde, kdeinit is already invoked at startup.
Synaptic on the other hand is a gnome application so
you need to add
gnome-settings-daemon &
to your .xsession.
Firefox uses its own font settings, you can change them under
Preferences > General therefore it looks a bit different.
I'm sorry if my suggestion was a bit unclear. I use enlightenment
and have to load both subsystems.
Hope this helps,
Nikolai
