That's funny.  I tried that before I sent my reply and it didn't seem 
to have any effect.  I tried it again just now and it affects the X 
Window version but not the native version.  I wonder what I'm doing 
wrong?  I gave it a font that was sufficiently different that I would 
be sure to see it.  I think I got this to work once a few days ago, but 
it sure doesn't work now.  I also tested by putting some junk in 
~/.gtkrc-2.0 to see if it ever got read.  The X Window version 
complained about it, but not the native version.

Even in the X Window version this seems to have no effect on reports. 
Is that to be expected?
