kdm changing fonts?

Hi,

I recently installed Etch in a Lenovo T60. Since I had to get the ATI
drivers to work, I did a minimal install before adding a display manager
(kdm). After I had X up and running with the proper driver, and properly
configured (with KDE), I installed KDM. Now, if I login via KDM, the fonts
(of konsole, konqueror, etc.) all get quite a bit larger. (I am 99% sure
that the resolution does not change, just the fonts get larger.) I've
noticed later the same problem with another laptop (with an Intel graphics
card and open source driver).

If you check the fonts used by konsole, for example, they are not changed
there (i.e., if it said 12pt, it still shows 12pt), but it is displayed way
too large...

GDM also makes the fonts larger, but XDM works... Does any one know what is
going wrong? Is that a bug? I'd like to be able to turn off the computer
from within KDE. It is not a big deal, but it seems that it is a bug, so I
thought I should ask.

Best to all,

Luis
