And would be convenient if the paddings, line widths, icon sizes, etc also scaled accordingly (may not be possible with current gtk+). > I'd be happy to write that into a ticket if you don't hate the idea :) I don't hate it in itself. But I need to know better why using Xft.dpi is not a good solution (real technical disadvantages) and which mechanism uses gtk+/gnome so we can reuse their work there.
