I'm still not quite sure what the _correct_ dpi for my setup is (how can I figure that out?) but setting things to 72 is now accepted and the emacs I launch no longer looks crazy. When I set the DPI to 110 (which is closer to what is actually true on my screen) the emacs ends up a bit distorted again, with the width of the display not being 80 columns when it first comes up.
