What kind of device do you have? Sounds amazing! In any case, I was only repeating the proposed solution of the GNOME developers. If there is a better solution, such as a user dialogue or something, that would be great. I doubt you'll want to run Ubuntu on a .75" display in any case, as you surely couldn't read anything without a magnifying glass!
I just wanted to point out the following Brainstorm Ideas in support of this change:

Of course there may be some overlap here, but that's over 350 people who support DPI auto-detection. I really think this needs to be re-considered . Even if GNOME doesn't implement it by default, Ubuntu can do so easily with a small patch. I would write it myself if I knew it was going to get applied.
The user should not even be allowed to choose DPI him or herself, other than to correct a failed auto-detection, as it is a physical characteristic of the display. We could then use a new "UI scale" option, but this is a separate issue.
