It is very bad design which started with Microsoft to force all monitors 
to 96 dpi. X-Window servers are 100% correct in querying the monitor for 
the best dpi value. Native dpi values should also give the user a better 
visual experience. The GUI toolkits are supposed to handle the various 
dpi settings without developer intervention, but most don't, and simply 
rely on the hard-coded 96 dpi value. 10 out of 10 for Qt4, if they 
manage this correctly!
