Me too :)

But I seem to have problems with it since I switched from xglamo to
the new -glamo driver.

Here are the tests; between changing settings I always did
`/etc/init.d/nodm stop' and `/etc/init.d/nodm start'. (And once a
reboot. *sigh*)

1)
.Xresources: "Xft.dpi: 96" enabled
/etc/default/nodm: NODM_X_OPTIONS='vt3 -nolisten tcp -dpi 96'
==> works

2)
.Xresources: dpi enabled
NODM_X_OPTIONS: disabled
==> doesn't work, very tiny fonts in mb-desktop bar and
mb-applet-menu-launcher, but mb-desktop area and notifications are
normal. so maybe that's some weird matchbox problem?

3)
both disabled
==> huge fonts in mb-desktop area, and in notifications ... I guess
you all know that

4)
.Xresources: dpi disabled
NODM_X_OPTIONS: enabled
==> works

Summary:
Setting the dpi in ~/.Xresources _almost_ works ...

Cheers,
gregor
