Attached is a patch which includes your modifications plus it takes out
the DPI stuff added by Nick. It also allows values < 48 for the spin
button. Whenever you disable custom DPI, it's reset to -1 (so that
auto-detection is triggered) and whenever you enable it again, it's
left at -1. 

The downside is: your old custom DPI is still not remembered. There are
two solutions for this. 1) add a boolean value that triggers
auto-detected DPI instead of resetting the value to -1 or 2) remember
the last custom DPI value in another property outside the /Net and /Gtk
base property and restore it whenever custom DPI is enabled.
