[Linux, apprunner] Look at the bug URL above, the fonts/forms on this page are mismatched, fighting for space, this page looks like hell.
Here's an image of layout as I see it: ftp://mocha/mcafee/bugs/4072/4072.gif
This is a dpi issue. If I force dpi to 96 in nsDeviceContextGTK, the page looks pretty good except for the button at the bottom not looking right. If I let it choose 72 dpi as it wants to, I see exactly what Chris sees: the vertical line spacing isn't nearly big enough to leave room for the form elements. Adding kipp to cc list.
I should clarify my last comment: I'm on a 21" monitor, 1600x1200, and the X server (both XFree86 and Xaccel) defaults to 75dpi unless you hardwire it to something larger.
Adding Eric for some font help :-)

Hmmm... I don't know, but it looks like there are at least 2 problems here. One is the X-server-reported DPI issue, which Akkana and Kipp have already discussed. The other problem appears to me to be a layout problem, where the table(?) is ignoring the height of the form fields (or the form fields are returning the wrong height).

So I made an attachment to simplfy testing. The issue is really one of compatability - the form elements in nagigator seem to provide more vertical whitespace around them. Probably easily fixed with margins in ua.css. Reassigning to kevin to do the sleuthing of the best values to use for each form element.
