Are the monitors the same? X doesn't always seem to choose the right
dpi. For example, on my 19" LG Studioworks 995E at 1240x1024, it
incorrectly determines dpi by default to be 75 dpi (it's actually 102
dpi). By adding a -dpi 102 switch to my server in .xserverrc, I'm able
to restore sanity (things look too small otherwise). But, YMMV.
