That is not the place I was talking about. That is the gnome-settings-daemon 
default, it only applies when you're running gnome-settings-daemon as your 
XSettings manager (i.e., basically only under GNOME). I'm talking about the 
toolkit default inside GTK+ 3, which is used if the XSetting is NOT set. 
That is what recently changed. xsettings-kde, the XSettings manager running 
in KDE Plasma sessions, expects the toolkit to honor the hardware DPI if the 
relevant XSetting is not set, as Qt does. It only sets an explicit DPI value 
if the user set an explicit DPI value in KDE System Settings. So GTK+ 3 now 
displays with the wrong font sizes in KDE Plasma sessions.
