In the case where xorg /does/ get it wrong (monitors without DDC, or 
with EDID blocks that are filled with lies), we still need a way to 
override that. However, the current UI just encourages people to do 
entirely the wrong thing. Something like the gimp's DPI setup widget 
would make more sense (a stretchy ruler that you make the correct 
length), along with a much more obvious "Make my fonts bigger/smaller" 
widget which does nothing to the DPI settings.
