And the other point I'm making is that that's a) not anaconda's problem
to solve and b) not an easy problem for *anyone* to solve. You can't
just assume the DPI given for a display is correct or appropriate; the
situation is far more complex. That's what all those links I pasted in
your bug report are about. 'Let's size everything physically!' seems
like a neat idea when you first read about it, but it never works out
quite that well in practice.
