[TriLUG] GDM Woes

[William Gomeringer]

I shut down GDM and started up x with startx. No change, but I am
strting to realize that the only time I have more than 5 fonts available
in the gnome-font-properties is when I use KDM, but no AA. So I get 5 AA
fonts when I use startx, GDM, or whatever. Thanks
