This is how Eclipse looks when it is opened within the KDEsktop. Under Gnome it looks fine (81.91 KB, image/png)

Description Ben Engbers 2009-04-24 15:47:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

The startup screen for KDE (installed with Fedora 10) looks great but on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite PRo) all the applications that start up, use such big fonts for the menu-lines, that only the menu fills up the entire screen

/usr/bin/kded --version returns:
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10-3.fc10 Fedora
KDE Daemon: $Id: kded.cpp 711061 2007-09-11 09:42:51Z tpatzig $

but 
rpm -q kdebase returns:
kdebase-4.2.2-3.fc10.i386

Which KDE am I using now? (I can't check from within the desktop since that does not work)
Is my problem maybe caused by the fact that during the initial installation I already selected the fedora 10 upgrade repositories with as effect that the KDE installation got mixed up?
Comment 3 Dario Andres 2009-05-01 16:48:02 UTC 
Yes, it seems you have mixed KDE3/kDE4 installations.
However this shouldn't affect the font size.
Do you experience this in any other application? (KDE app, GNOME/GTK app, Java/Swing/SWT app ) ?
Thanks

As I have already reported on the KDE forum (http://forum.kde.org/kde-huge-fonts-t-46609.html), the Fedora forum (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-195631.html) led me to the solution.
Fedora 10 doesn't use a Xorg.conf anymore. I still don't know how Fedora gets its X11 settings but all I had to do was force 96 dpi for the fonts and since then everything works fine

I'm glad it works now for you
Thanks
Marking as INVALID as this was not a KDE bug
