[pkg-fso-maint] Bug#500626: xserver-xglamo: fonts are very large in e.g. midori

Package: xserver-xglamo
Version: 1.3.0.0+git20080807-2
Severity: normal

With xserver-xglamo (and matchbox-window-manager) fonts in midori are
very large. For example when I open the file menu the "quit" option is
outside screen. xpdyinfo reports

dimensions:    480x640 pixels (43x58 millimeters)
  resolution:    284x280 dots per inch

which is probably correct so maybe we need some GTK option to use
smaller fonts? Under xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xpdyinfo reports

  dimensions:    640x480 pixels (169x127 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

and the fonts look ok. I seem to be able to set this fake DPI value
with xserver-xglamo by using

-dpi 96

in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc -- maybe that should be the default so
that glamo would work consistently in the same way fbdev does?
