But DPI *is* a physical value and nothing else. We cannot seriously go around 
and reinterpret it "as" any other random concept of our liking...

When asked for 4 square centimeters of screen real estate, there's no 
"distance from screen", or other dubious "angular size" as invoked in the 
linked bug report... it means "please, give me 4 square centimeters of the 
plane of current screen, thank you very much".

The only sensible way to achieve that is to obbey the system settings, not to 
invent our poor own!

but this surely can be implemented as a zoom factor, i.e. unrelated to DPI...

Germain,

waiting for GNOME to redefine kilogram anyday, so that they claim the fittest 
developers crown :)
