Another question to ask: Is there a gnome-settings-daemon process running in the background? All GTK apps want to talk to it to get the font settings established by gnome font setting app (either gnome-appearance-properties in recent versions of gnome or gnome-font-properties in older versions). I have no idea if KDE starts up the gnome-settings-daemon for the benefit of KDE users running GTK apps, so if you are running KDE, that may be the problem.
