The /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi key is only here for those who
want to override the default detected by the X server. By default, this
key is unset and the X server’s dpi setting is used.

Do you have systems on which the default is non-null? If so, I’d like to
know where this comes
from: /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults, /usr/share/gconf/schemas
or /usr/share/gconf/defaults.
