ok, if i go with 'command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -dpi 125' in
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf, the fonts are very large in both gdm and xfce.

if i go with 'command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -dpi 100', the fonts look
the right size in both gdm and xfce (and this is the about the font
size that you get with xfce when using startx instead of gdm)

if i go with 'command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -dpi 75', the fonts are very
small in both gdm and xfce.

if i go with 'command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -dpi 25', the fonts in both
gdm and xfce are so small that they are unreadable.

so, the question is, should the fonts be so large with the large dpi?
as a user, i expect the font to always be the same, regardless of the
number of dots per inch computed.

note that when launched via gdm, the gnome font size is always the
same, regardless of the dpi setting in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf.
