The font in GDM (in the username and password box) are tiny... And I mean tiny!!! Also the font in the logout box (where you choose, logout, reboot or shutdown).

Finaly... When I choose reboot or shutdown, it simply returns me to the GDM login screen. I must click System and choose the apropriate option... Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help...

EDIT: Removed the bit about the notification applet crash, sice it already has a thread of his own. Go to the thread link in the post below for a solution...

Hummm, I should have looked better... :p

Even so, if anyone has any answer to the other problems, I would be very appreciated.

unfortunately gdm gets its fonts from the themes in /usr/whatever/themes

if you edit those then you can get bigger fonts somewhat of a pain but I am sure you could use sed/ed to change the fonts which would be easier. Since I havent logged out in a god 10 days I don't really care but whatever
