Yes, I agree that this isn't the right approach.  Why not introduce an
option to the UI settings panel that, by default, will use the system
default DPI (i.e., that set by the X driver based on detected display
size), or the user can override it by setting a custom DPI.

Another cool option would be for the user to be able to actually enter
their display size (their actual display size, not 'I have a 19"
monitor'), but that might be a bit much.
