Probably because khtml does it's own conversion from points to pixels. To do 
this we use the maximum of what X tells us the DPI value is and 96 (ie. 
QMAX(96,QPaintDevice::x11AppDpiY()). If you don't do this a whole lot of web 
pages get tiny and more or less unreadable fonts on 72/75 dpi displays 
(that's what you might have seen in the past).
