Actually, I don't think it should have anything to do with gnome. It
should be in X where it would work for all toolkits across the
board, and allow you to establish different DPI values for
different monitors in a multi-monitor setup.

I'm seriously considering starting work on the EDID filter for
X I proposed in there. It would be great for making X pretend
it had EDID info even when the monitor isn't online when you
bring up X (talking to another system on you KVM switch perhaps).

Probably never be accepted though - everyone seems to hate
allowing users to control any aspect of their systems :-).
