------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 Just having updated to the latest sugar-jhbuild and re-built sugar, the
 dpi setting is no longer affecting the actual UI scaling layout of sugar
 (home ring size, icons size, toolbar/tab size are all too small). The only
 thing the dpi setting is now effecting is the font size (my previous
 working jhbuild was about 1 month out of date, I guess).

 I use a 1200x900 VirtualBox window on my screen of 133dpi and set sugar-
 jhbuild to run fullscreen. FWIW, I go edit ~/sugar-jhbuild/install/bin
 /sugar-emulator and comment out the usual dpi/screen/dimension logic and
 add my own hard-coded preference:

 {{{
     cmd.append('-fullscreen')
     cmd.append('-dpi')
     cmd.append('133')
 }}}

 Whatever I've tried, the layout UI scale I get looks like it's only
 correct for an 800x600 display (though the fonts do correctly scale
 up/down).
