All you really want to do with this is to make sure that your dpi in 
xdpyinfo is set to what you want. You do this by creatively rounding the 
numbers (though in my case all I had to do is round up appropriately).

xdpyinfo shows the following section for my 19" CRT at 1600x1200:

screen #0:
   dimensions:    1600x1200 pixels (423x318 millimeters)
   resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
