I must respectfully disagree. We really should get around to becoming "modern" and do resolution-independent widgets. And so a fixed DPI will undermine this attempt. Having the DPI value actually reflect the number of dots per inch, and scaling our widgets with it will let us have well-rendered _smooth_ fonts instead of the blurry ones we have now. Who wants to have itty-bitty fonts and icons when we get monitors that can display 3200x2400? Let's find reasonable sizes for widgets and then make them scale with the capabilities of high-resolution displays. Simon
