If I run Gnome GTK2 apps under KDE the fonts look ugly as well. However,
under Gnome itself exactly the same apps look fine.

But, if I start the gnome-control-center just once under KDE the fonts are
suddenly also fine under KDE ! After some investiation I found that the
gnome-control-center starts something like "gnome-settings-daemon" which
seems to do the trick !!!

So, what to do to fix the problem permanently : ensure that every time you
start KDE the "gnome-settings-daemon" is started as well. (eg using
.xsession or through Autostart).
