To be honest I can't tell you where I first found out about it. I've had 
  it in my general configuration backup file long enough to have 
forgotten from whence it came. My line is uncommented so I found a 
posting on the ubuntu forum that had the formula I sent earlier. 
(http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20976)

If my memory serves me correctly, the line tells X what the aspect ratio 
of width to height should be for a line of text. The fancy 
multiplication is just a conversion to millimeters to tell X how large 
your screen is.

Note that you may want to tweak the numbers a little (fudge them) per 
the following site that explains things is much more understandable detail:

Good to hear that you like your new resolution. If your eyes can take it 
and things look sharp I rather like the smallness and spaciousness that 
it creates.

Cheers.
