I found a few monitors out there at 200 dpi, so perhaps that would be a reasonable upper limit, but we'd have to check to make sure that the average person with a crap monitor could set that to 200dpi, realize it was wrong, and set it back without having to edit the registry by hand.

Why not wizardify it? "Enter the physical size of your screen: x in/cm y in/cm" Then use appropriate dpi based on current resolution? Does it not work like that?
What about getting the value from X? Since Windows only expects one DPI for both vertical and horizontal, while X provides two, Wine could just take the mean and autoset that on startup.
