OK, your comment was right except that it didn't fix iceape guys
neither iceweasel/icedove...  For those:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_menu_fonts
http://linux.derkeiler.com/pdf/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2007-12/msg00957.pdf

are the solution.  For pidgin there's a useful plugin to install:

pidgin-extprefs

which allows gtk configurations...  Now just editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 was
not enough for gtk applications such as gftp, installing:

gtk-theme-switch

was necessary...  I'm wondering if something similar needs to be done
for QT applications such as skype...  I'll probably start a new thread
if so, :)...

Thanks,
