How about you don't make assumptions on how the code is written, when it's not written this way? http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/data/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.gschema.xml.in.in#n13 and: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/xsettings/gsd-xsettings-manager.c#n263 So if you didn't much about with the default configuration (or inherited it from a GNOME 2.x installation), we use the X server's DPI. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
