Title:
  Allow to set DPI resolution

Status in gnome-control-center:
  Expired
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Computer -> System Configuration -> Screen Resolution should not only allow to
  set widht, height, and frequency, but also the physical resolution of the
  monitor. A friend of mine got 1600x1200 as default resolution, which makes
  characters far too small to be readable.

  Instead of specifying a DPI number directly (which is somewhat abstract), 
there
  should be two rulers displayed; either the user measures them with a "hardware
  ruler" and enters the lengths of the displayed rulers (much like GIMP does), 
or
  there is a slider for each direction which scale the displayed rulers until 
they
  match the hardware ruler.
