That code seems to be wrong. According to Brian it assumes all the
monitors you have form one big screen and then calculates the DPI
according to the overall screen size. It would be better to calculate
the DPI only for the first screen and then apply the same value to the
others.

And this should not be done in xfce4-settings because right now the DPI
is reset whenever you enable the custom DPI checkox - which is really
annoying. It should only do that the first time but not again and again.
