How can you tell. If I start Xipaq w/o dpi blackbox looks like like Xfbdev
in either 100 or 72 dpi mode, and like Xipaq in 72dpi mode. I think it
strange that Xfbdev and Xipaq have different results with the 100dpi setting.
I've checked ion and it is also larger when using the 100dpi then when using
72 under Xipaq, though with that tool the change is not as harsh.
