We don't do that. We *dont* touch that (it's wrong anyway). The
interface only touches the *current user* session DPI. So user can
override what the Xserver think is the correct DPI.

No, no and no. Let the xserver guess the DPI. If it's wrong because you
have broken driver, give it the display size so it can do the calcul
correctly. Then, the DPI depends on the resolution., so you don't want
to hardcode a DPI settings if you change the resolution for some reason.

Besides that, DPI is display-dependent too. If you have two (three,
four, whatever) displays, starting X with -dpi foo will just break every
other display.
