I installed SUSE 10.0 and KDE.

I would like to increase the default font size in the application 
toolbars, like Firefox.
I tried increasing the size of TrurType fonts from 10 in the control 
centre but it's still not to my satisfaction. I tried "googling" and I 
came across this: "Head meet wall, repeat". This pretty much sums up my 
predicament. Can someone please point out to me some resources? Or put 
me out of my misery :-)

KDE in SUSE is visually cool but I find it kind of slow compared to 
Debian with xfce (expected). Does almost everything run in GUI? I tried 
YAST at the commandline and it went into GUI.
I haven't used Red Hat since even before Fedora. Do Red Hat and SUSE 
default primarily to GUI since targetting business/the enterprise? I do 
know commandline is available.

Multimedia sucks, it's crippled (legal). I tried removing Kaffeine and 
installing xine and xine-ui. Result: dependency hell. Vlc does the same.
YAST2 is no help unless you do it the hard way. With Slackware and 
Debian, swaret and apt-get (respectively) usually does it all. Am I 
missing something? Or the whole thing :-)

Thanks in advance. I'll quit my whining.
