I think it should also be considered that the current (and future) builds might be used outside of a GTK-based DE/WM, and some "hints" at what the DE is using might be missing: in such cases, sane defaults should still be picked. For example, IIRC on GNOME etc DPI usage is "enforced" by setting Xft.dpi, but I don't have the resource set (I use a plain Awesome WM). Or someone might be running Firefox under KDE, where Xft.dpi is not set because Qt apps generally just use a scaling based on whatever the actual DPI is. Defaulting to a physical-to-CSS dpi scale sounds like a reasonable default. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
