I upgraded qt3-3.1.1 that came with SuSE 8.2 to this qt3-3.3.2 from the
"Update for 8.2" section of the SuSE site.
Running gnome-settings-daemon, which is needed for the gtk2 font
settings, affects the qt font settings; the qt menu fonts in particular
become much larger.

It appears to have something to do with xft/antialiasing.
In the 'qtconfig' utility belonging to qt3-3.1.1, antialiasing could be
switched off, which solved this problem; in the qtconfig that is part of
qt3-3.3.2 this option is not there.
Possibly, this problem only arises with certain video cards, that have
rendering facilities (?)

Anyway, I went back to qt3-3.1.1 and fortunately, all the hassle is
gone.
