While we are at it: If/when 1.7 is going in, many people who are using
1.6.x right now are in for a surprise: The dpi behaviour is changed back
to the old (pre xrandr) behaviour where everything is seen as 96 dpi and
any different value needs to be given *as a command line argument* to the
xserver. It seems that there is no xorg.conf parameter to achieve this
and there also is no way to get back to the 1.6 behaviour at all (i.e.
pick the dpi value from xrandr). This is intentional although I fail to
understand the arguments. Please see
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705
for details.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
