In case this helps:
Log in via the console (despite the messed up fonts) go GNOME works INTO
root ONLY!
(if I log into other accounts, login works, but the fonts are all
screwed up)
If I start a vnc session (which happens to use kde), that works to my
regular (non-root) account.
However, firefox won't work under my account under kde right now, which
is a bit of a showstopper issue for me (no browsing). It cores (segv).
I did try removing/reinstalling firefox, and that didn't help my kde
account.
Suggestions appreciated.
