This is the same A11Y problem you keep complaining I complain about. The 
obstacle here repeated is it can be much harder or even impossible for people 
faced with too small GUI text to make it big enough than it is the other way 
around. Without the necessity of a mouse pointer too small to see, or 
checkboxes too small to hit with limited dexterity, xorg.conf can be used to 
reverse globally-forced 96 DPI even before KDM ever accepts its first login, 
thus enabling fine tuning from within KDE using text legible to the 
beneficiaries of competent A11Y design.

KScreen in F19 currently is overriding xorg.conf, reverting text to 
inadequate forced-to-96 size. Whether this is WAD or Fedora bug or upstream 
bug is yet to be discovered by me, but I see a grand total of only 9 KScreen 
bugs on bugs.kde.org. Based exclusively on their summaries, none seem to be 
related to this behavior.

P.S. I did find out openSUSE is holding KScreen back from standard repos 
until 4.11.
