Because there are two DPI values. One reported by "xdpyinfo | grep 
dots", and one reported by "xrdb -query | grep Xft.dpi". Gnome allows to 
set Xft.dpi, and even sets it by default if the DPI value reported by 
xdpyinfo is too small - which is a bug in gnome. If the user means "50 
DPI", gnome should obey slavishly and allow her to shoot herself in the 
foot.
