One has a DPI of 106, the other has a DPI of 120. Personally, the defaults probably should be something sane, like 96x96, and almost immediately after first login there should be a 'wizard' dialogue box explaining about the DPI and enquiring if the user wants to change it. The best scenario would be if X + Desktop Environment picked up on the actual DPI of the screen(s) and adjusted for that automatically. -- Anders Karlsson <anders@trudheim.com> Trudheim Technology Limited
