Here is the info from 2 systems that have the problem:

dell mini 9s (one running stable, one unstable):

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1024x600 pixels (195x113 millimeters)
  resolution:    133x135 dots per inch
    
fujitsu p7120:

screen #0:
  dimensions:    800x600 pixels (338x203 millimeters)
  resolution:    60x75 dots per inch

My desktop system does *not* have the problem.

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (342x271 millimeters)
  resolution:    95x96 dots per inch

(Note that also the size of the dots used for password entry has been 
changed in unstable and the new small dots are too small to be cut off.)
