No, this is quite good. If you want to be exact, it's 81.028x80.943 dots
per inch, so 81x81 is pretty good.

Well, I don't think we should have this in the config file normally.
That is, this value is (correctly) determined automatically. If it's
not, it has to be corrected for X anyway, so we should just use what
X gives us. However, Windows may adjust the real DPI, so we may have to
apply a correction factor. I'd personally nuke this Wine-specific
option altogether.
