This value is much too high. On a 14" monitor the resolution for 800x600
is about 72x72 pixels per inch and on a 15" monitor it's only about
67x67 pixels per inch. You get a resolution of 90x90 pixels per inch if
you display 800x600 on an 11" monitor. I doubt that we want to optimize
KDE for such small monitors. So the font you used for your test was way
to large (in pixel). For a user with a 14" monitor the 12 point font
would be 20% (= 1 - 72/90) smaller and thus all configuration dialogs
would also be smaller (I guess about 10%).
