           Summary: Controls inside containers don't get correcty autoscaled
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 1.2.6
          Platform: Other

Description of Problem:

Controls contained inside containers other than the primary form don't get
autoscaled when font dpi resolution is set to something different of 96 dpis
(most linux distros are set by default to 120dpi). 

It means the controls 


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a form, add a panel, add a label inside it. 
2. Set label borderstyle to fixedsingle so it'll be visible
3. Check your desktop font dpi setting (varies on each distro, opensuse comes
set to 123dpi by default)
4. run the app, you will see the label. 
5. Try to change the font dpi setting of the desktop and run again 


Actual Results:

The label has the same size regardless of the dpi setting (the font and the
form vary in size however)

Expected Results:

Label should have Bounds updated the same they do when they are parented by the
form. 

How often does this happen? 

always

Additional Information:

The behavoir is correct is correct if controls are placed on the form, but
wrong   when inside a panel, probably when inside any other container. 

A sample testscase is attached. It should be run at different dpi settings to
see the problem. 

Two screenshots are also attached: 

dpi01.png shows the form running at 96dpi (left) and 120dpi (right). At 120dpi
the label has same size and location, but different font size. It should have
been autoscaled. 

dpi02.png contains 96dpi screenshot overlapped on 120dpi, showing that the
label is placed exactly at the same place in both cases (not getting
autoscaled)
