What should be done in Xfce at startup is:
- look in xfconf if there is an user-set DPI value
- if not, ask xserver for the DPI of the display
- if not present, use 96
- export the value to applications, using Xsettings

We don't want to tune anything in the xserver. If the admin wants to do
that, fine, tune xorg.conf and set the display size. Or break everything
by forcing the dpi directly here and there. But that's not Xfce purpose.
