The DisplaySize setting in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 config files is very complicated. Suffice to say that the 'rules' state that all themes should run as 100dpi.

Add this line -

DisplaySize 204 153 # 100 DPI @ 800x600

under the "Section Monitor" of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and all should be well.

However, this made all the big fonts HUGE, so I used -

DisplaySize 271 204 # 75 DPI @ 800x600
