In my experience, KDE uses a weird mishmash of the strictly accurate
DPI (window contents) and something that I suspect is hard-coded 96DPI
(window decoration, taskbar):

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179962
Then Gnome apps run under KDE seem to do something different again,
but I haven't worked that out exactly.
I've got acceptable-looking results on both of my high-DPI screens by
setting the KDE fonts to 120DPI through the config tool, which gets
things close enough, but that's not super elegant or satisfying.
