You are plain wrong about this. KDE is not optimized for any DPI value,
properly programmed applications can handle any DPI value (and almost all KDE
application can).

Yes, the -dpi setting actually belong to the configuration file of the X
server. Sadly, setting this up is not easy for CRTs but only for TFTs.
Probably many monitors are closer to 75dpi than to 100dpi.
But if that makes to you happier: users of other system mostly don't even know
that such a setting even exists ;)
