Emacs 24 adds support for gconf and gsettings, so it'll pick whatever
monospace font and sizes you have set as the default in your system
settings (unless you've configured otherwise, of course).  I'm nox
exactly sure that KDE uses gsettings, but maybe it does...  Or you've
used Gnome some day and its configs are still there.
