After talking to seb128 on #ubuntu-desktop, it's now clear that the
hardcoding of 96 dpi was due to this bug
https://launchpad.net/bugs/118745 many people had during the Gutsy dev
time frame.

In my opinion that workaround should be removed again, because
a) hardware detection has improved a lot,
b) Gnome has added code to handle these problems in a more sensible way (which 
doesn't get used because of that workaround),
c) the workaround is duplicating Code and makes it harder to debug problems and
d) the Gnome fix might work, considering the status of the equivalent Novell 
bug.
