Sadly, I see a some problems here: 1) We don't control the hardware our software is running on. 2) Broken X servers reporting bad dpi values, relying just on modern/non-broken servers doesn't look very attractive either... 3) I bet there's still lots of people with 800x600 (or worse) screens Regards, Carlos _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
