Oh, I expect font face and size, as well as widget shapes and colors to
change. All that stuff is part of the whole widget-set "style"
definitions.

I'm talking about major changes, such as reconfiguring the Galeon toolbar.
And importing bookmarks. The bookmarks I imported to Galeon and Mozilla
under KDE were gone when I fired them up under Fvwm. None of which should
have anything to do with a saved session either.

Also, font preferences (not desktop settings -- but in Mozilla
preferences) weren't preserved either.
