DPI is a physical characteristic of your display device, not a user
preference.  It should always be set to the correct value, unless you're
using a projector or something.

We really need a way to specify the UI "scale" factor, something like
defining the EM width in a browser, but for the entire OS.

no no... after i got HUGE fonts, i reset the DPI to 96 (looked better) and then 
on certain apps, i just increase the font size (like kmail or firefox).
Guess i'll have to reset my font size and just try to increase the DPI to a 
nice value.

On a printer, for example. If application designers would map  
pictures to a printer the same way they currently map it to the  
screen, users would likely call them insane. Now try to imagine a  
screen with 1200 dpi ...

Sure it should. The DPI of the image as well as the DPI of the  
displaying device.

 From the applications's view: no.
