Yes, of course... but I assume you agree that GTK shouldn't use
sub-pixel rendering even outside of gnome in this case. The question is
whether GTK even has a say in this case. If not, is it a xft problem?=20

I tried with=20

  <match target=3D"font">
    <test qual=3D"all" name=3D"rgba">
      <const>unknown</const>
    </test>
    <edit name=3D"rgba" mode=3D"assign"><const>none</const></edit>
  </match>

("none" taken from the manpage of fonts.conf)

but that didn't change a thing. So maybe xft is to blame.

Tried to change all that, without effect.=20

If you feel there is nothing gtk can do, maybe you could reassign to the
relevant xft package (I wouldn't know who's responsible).
