+<para>&X-Window; displays are usually configured with a screen-size
+variable. That is, how big your screen is in real-world measurements,
+not pixels. &kodometer; grabs this value and uses it come up with a
+&dpi; (dots per inch) value for your display, and thus
+can relate the number of pixels you've traversed to the number of inches
+the pointer appears to have moved on the screen.</para>
+
+<para>But lets be real! Its horribly <emphasis>inaccurate!</emphasis>
+&kodometer; makes no pretense of being even remotely accurate. In fact,
+someone has measured the movement of their mouse across the screen with
+a ruler, and found that the distance algorithm is almost 25&percnt; off!
