I'm currently looking into http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-settings- daemon/branches/gnome-2-24/plugins/xsettings/gsd-xsettings- manager.c?view=markup
(search for "get_dpi_from_gconf_or_x_server (GConfClient *client)") Judging from the code: Basically Gnome uses the dpi value xorg reports when these values are within a reasonable range, but only if the user hasn't overidden these values in his gconf (e. g. via gnome-appearance-properties). If the user hasn't specified a dpi value and xorg's value is < 50 or > 500, gnome-settings-daemon will choose 96 dpi. My steps: 1. Create a new user 2. Check xdpyinfo | grep resolution -> DPI value is RIGHT (and not < 50 or > 500)! 3. Check gnome-appearance-properties -> DPI value is WRONG! 4. Check ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/font_rendering/%gconf.xml -> DPI is NOT set! In this scenario gnome-settings-daemon should choose xorg's value but does not. -- GNOME default DPI doesn't match X default DPI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
