Fonts: depends on program.  Xterm's default font gets really tiny on
1024x768, you can fix this temporarily by holding down Cntl and holding
the right mouse button over the xterm window.  I don't remember how to
make this permanent at the moment.

The buttonbar is a fvwm2-ism and has to be adjusted that way.
