Bug#324692: gnome-font-properties: application font ignored by applications

[John M Flinchbaugh]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.10.1-6
Severity: normal


Changing Application Font in gnome-font-properties has no affect on
fonts used by my applications, including the panel, GtkTree
used in eclipse, etc.

I've seen this work fine on a Gentoo Gnome 2.8 desktop.
