Gnome font settings not remembered

I'm trying to change the font dpi from the right click menu on desktop, but after i log out and log back in the dpi setting is falling back to 92dpi( I'm trying to set it to 96), but other settings like hinting, subpixel rendering is not affected. I cant figure this out, are there any conf files that I can edit manually?

Re: Gnome font settings not remembered

What window manager - Gnome, KDE. XFCE, Openbox, etc.?

DPI can be set in xorg.conf, and AFAIK it's the only place where it can be set as *two* values (horizontal and vertical), which is desirable for widescreen displays.

$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot
  dimensions:    1920x1080 pixels (372x231 millimeters)
  resolution:    131x119 dots per inch
