Pietro,
I have seen this behavior typically occur when
gnome-settings-daemon
doesn't shut down properly from my previous session, before
I start up
GNOME again. In addition, this is how all of my GNOME apps
look when I
try running them without gnome-settings-daemon. I suspect
that when you
X server restarted, your apps were not able to contact
gnome-settings-daemon over DBUS and defaulted their
fonts/rendering.
Try this:
1) Start X.org again, after a fresh reboot
2) Exit X.org
3) Use ps auxww to see if there are any gnome related
programs still running
4) Kill them all (a good trick I use is to log in as 'root'
in another
VT, and "killall -9 -u myusername")
5) Log in as your user again and try starting X.org (and the
fonts
should look like [1])
