Sorry, I was sick.

Scaling worked including version
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008033105 Minefield/3.0pre

It is broken since
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040106 Minefield/3.0pre

I hope that helps!

Probably the result of bug 394103

--> Core::GFX/Thebes, I don't think this is a Firefox 3 blocker, but we'll want to fix it in one of the dot-dot updates, probably.

I'm a little worried that this is going to come down to a choice between addressing the concerns of those who filed bug 394103 or this one, though in that case, I think since those running into bug 394103 were hitting it due to kookiness in their Linux configs, this bug is gonna win.

I had marked bug 424822 as a dependency, as that would allow users to override the behavior added in bug 394103. Alternatively, the new behavior in bug 394103 could be reverted, and bug 424822 could be used to allow Linux users to hack around their problem. Either way, we'll need bug 424822.

I think at this point I'm more about reverting bug 394103, but again, I can wait until after we ship, I think.

Vlad believes that we should #ifdef MOZ_WIDGET_GTK2 the change from bug 394103, since the misrepresentation of DPI appears to be limited to Linux, and that's the conservative play. I have no reason to doubt him.

I guess whiteboard isn't one of the fields that bugzilla lies about in the mid-air message. ;(

Sure, add a comment at least referencing this bug number? (Or explaining what's going on, if you understand what the underlying issue is)

You mean something like
   // be more conservative about activating scaling on GTK2, since the dpi

This is getting unwieldy, could you refactor this into a case statement? Same thing with the other bit. Other than that, looks ok.
