Confirming on lucid, I have the same issue as comment #19

My issue is the following: I switch several times per day between a laptop (131 dpi) and external monitor (92 dpi), and I want GNOME to recognize the switch, keeping the physical font size. Doing

gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi

after every login achieves what I want - it adjusts the dpi to what my current screen actually has so that fonts have the same physical size.

What code, what service, is responsible for resetting that value *every* time i login, so that I need to unset it again? Does anyone know so I can hack around it or add a bug report?

I *can* manually add the above line to my startup programs, I'll test that...
