Bug Description

When I use a monitor of 1280x768 or 1024x600, most applpication fonts suddenly get bigger. It doesn't matter if it's a primary or secondary monitor. As soon as I start using it, the fonts get bigger. Some fonts are unaffected, such as the fonts in the document area of the firefox window. Take a look for yourself.

Jaunty Alpha 4, with current updates.

The screenshot is from an acer-aspire-one with a built in 1024x600 screen.
