    Thanks for the Tip :)

    I changed my fonts to 13 in the Gnome Control Center. And rebooted and
    saw no change.. How would I start the daemon?

    I tried just typing gnome-settings-daemon and got..

    #############################################
    inux-clove:~ # gnome-settings-daemon
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified

    xscreensaver: Can't open display: :0.0
    xscreensaver: initial effective uid/gid was root/root (0/0)
    xscreensaver: running as nobody/nobody (65534/65533)

    xscreensaver: This is probably because you're logging in as root. You
                  shouldn't log in as root: you should log in as a normal
    user,
                  and then `su' as needed. If you insist on logging in as
                  root, you will have to turn off X's security features
    before
                  xscreensaver will work.

                  Please read the manual and FAQ for more information:
