That was my first thought to. I normally let X-Window server query the 
monitor to find the correct dpi value (eg: 119 dpi on my laptop, 110 on 
my desktop LCD). But since then, I have forced my X-Window server to 96 
dpi, like Windows.  The size difference is still there, which is what 
confuses me more. I have tried Google to find more information. All I 
got is that there is a size difference, but I can't find an explanation 
for why. :-(
