Is it just the KDE applications that have different font sizes?

If not, check and see where the DPI for X is being set.  With KDE this is 
normally set in: "$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xservers", but I understand that 
some distos do it some other way.  If you are starting the other WM/DT with 
something other than KDM, the resolution is going to be set somewhere else.
