I think it was more some specific app that did that, wasn't it? I'm
almost sure it was either Paint Shop Pro or the GIMP, because obviously,
actual physical accuracy is quite important there. Otherwise it was
something like Office. It was definitely some specific app where WYSIWYG
was important, not an OS.
It makes sense to do that when configuring a desktop environment like Gnome or
KDE.
