This is probably the DPI that gets modified, somehow. Enabling hinting
should create ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb but this file contains no DPI
change (although we usedto force DPI to 92 for consistency, dunno if
this is still applied).

Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.xfce.org) is the preferred way for bug
reports, although I think there is already a similar report in the database.
