but this isn't anything new, by the way. 
Now, with distributors also changing the Xft dpi (apparently in the hope that 
two wrongs will make a right), there are very serious chances that *both* dpi 
values will be wrong (was the case on my Mandriva hi-res laptop).

So the only thing this kind of "breakthrough" brings is that the mere 
possibility of having a correct X11 desktop dpi wise is drifting away.
