They're documented in the code,, which has a link to the bug. We
basically can't trust the DPI X.org gives us. Which is something 2
people who have been working on GTK+ for > 10 years mention on the bug,
and I've double/triple checked with X hackers.

I'm not sure how we can make DPI magically be correct in gazillions of
broken displays' EDID.
