Does anyone out there understand how Firefox and Thunderbird

which fonts to use for their user interface, i.e., menus, etc? I have
installed "GTK styles and Fonts" display settings module. It works fine
for ordinary gtk and Gnome applications. However, Firefox and
Thunderbird seem to have some more complex system for determining their
system fonts. The only way I can get F & T to respect my font choice
while using KDE4 is to
(1) log in under Gnome,
(2) change some font settings,
(3) log out (without rebooting)
(4) log in under KDE4.
Looks like they only honor the settings from gnome-settings-daemon (which
doesn't run by default in KDE), not the GTK+ settings.
