Base the "nominal" zoom level on the DPI of the monitor on which the PCB window 
(or most of it) is sitting, as reported by X.

I'd go with a default of two pixels per DPI (such that on an average ~100 DPI 
screen, one inch of board spans 200 pixels), but allow the user to adjust the 
ratio.  Automatically fall back to "zoom to fit" if the rendered image would 
end up smaller than the window, like it does now.
