The GTK L&F does not react to the DPI setting of gnome. In particular using RH8 and the default BlueCurve theme Java controls / fonts are rendered at a DPI different from the desktop.
EVALUATION
We can already retrieve the DPI via getDesktopProperty in Toolkit. We just
need to scale the font accordingly. We should also keep track of this property
like we do windows desktop properties since this value can be changed
dynamically.

For tiger I've added desktop property support for tracking dynamic changes to
the font, dpi and theme.
