My screen is being detected properly at 135 dpi. My gnome capplet correctly shows 135 dpi.

The problem is the combination of high dpi and low resolution screen (1024x600) that is common on netbooks.

The result is most gnome dialog boxes don't fit the screen anymore with a default font setting of 10pts.

Maybe gnome needs to lower the font sizes when a low resolution screen is being used with a high dpi setting. (ie 1024x768 and lower).

I can't even use the desktop cd installer, as all the dialog boxes have the bottom buttons cut off.

Does this make any sense?
