[Bug 301158] [NEW] Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu

[norimu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The option layout.css.dpi in Firefox 3.0.4 (via about:config) is ignored
in Kubuntu 8.10.

That is bad because the font size for web content is very small on my
CRT at 1280x1024


To adjust the system DPI I tried the following

1) ScreenSize option in xorg.conf (increases GTK User Interface fonts but not KDE fonts)
2) X-Server command option -dpi 108 in kdmrc (increases KDE fonts but not GTK fonts)
3) Xft.dpi: 108   in an ~/.Xdefaults file (increases GTK fonts but not KDE fonts)

So now I have a combination of 2) und 3)
xdpyinfo reports the correct target dpi of 108.

But all these settings are ignored by the Firefox web rendering and
layout.css.dpi was a solution in previous versions I used (Firefox 2).
