[mythtv-users] overriding DPI only for myth

Hi,
I was having problems with mythfrontend 0.26 (on Fedora 19) when
displayed the frontend in a window (i.e. on my desktop, not full-screen)
where when playing an SD recording in a window that is widescreen sized
(854x480) the "pillar"s on the sides of the 4:3 recording were really
wide and the recording was horizontally compressed. I was also seeing
horizontally compressed fonts in the menus.
So, to rectify, I set the DPI of my X server to 100 x 100. Witht that
DPI setting everything looks normal again.
But ultimately, I don't want to lie to everything else on my desktop
about what the real DPI of the monitor is. Ultimately I want X to
calculate it as it was before I overrode it to 100 x 100.
So the question is, can I remove the 100 x 100 override from my
xorg.conf and somehow force only mythfrontend to using a 100 x 100 DPI?
I'm using an NVidia card (8400 GS) with VDPAU in case that's relevant.
Cheers,
b.
