Now I've started all other applications on my FR, and they all seem
to work with this setting. With some details:

* gpicview has tiny fonts in the titles of floating dialog boxes but
  they are useless anyway.
* midori works fine, but again floating dialog boxes
  (Edit->Preferences) have a tiny title.
* The same with epdfviewer.
* The same with mumpot.

So there seems to be a pattern - titles of floating/independent
dialog windows are tiny; in practice that's no problem but there
seems to be some underlying problem.

From my point of view: go ahead, and sorry for delaying the progress
:)

Cheers,
