This is exactly the opposite: the screen resolution, that used to be
ignored by GDM and forced to 96 DPI, is now correctly taken into
account.

If the screen resolution is wrongly detected, this may be a bug in the X
server, but most probably the behavior you are describing is expected:
the fonts used to look smaller or bigger than what they should, and now
they have the correct size you have to fix your font settings.
