This is still an issue, even though the problem that made the workaround
necessary in Bug 204864 was "fixed" in Xorg by forcing 96dpi:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705

The advantage of relying on the Xorg "fix" is that the user can still override
the hardcoded value (e. g. using xrandr) so that it reflects the actual dpi of
his screen.

Apart from the problem that the zoom setting does not reflect the real size on
the screen, there is another problem for people with very high dpi: Since zoom
is limited to 400% until a tiled renderer is implemented, the displayed page
can be quite small, even when selecting 400%.

If you decide not to revert the changes from Bug 204864 and to stay with a dpi
value hardcoded in the sourcecode, please adjust the hardcoded value to 96 dpi
as this is the value that is used by Xorg.
