I believe it has something to do with anti-aliased fonts being used instead of bitmap ones. I *think* it is to do with Xorg 7.3 rather than Gnome.... but there is Gnome stuff you can do that sorts it if Gnome is your window manager (see thread "Fonts, windows too large after 2.20 upgrade" in freebsd-gnome list). For other window managers I'm not sure what you need to do (there must be some xorg.conf magic - surely???). Maybe ask on the Xorg mailing lists? (and enlighten us when you discover the answer!)
