You call them hacks. Other people call them ways to make the problem go away, otherwise known as practical solutions.

Modern distros serve their own versions of X in varied ways. X is made up of several components, any of which can have its own idea what DPI is or is supposed to be. It's a complicated subject. That means no easy answer
given limited facts, and likely no easy answer even given copious facts. It should work right out of the box, but often doesn't, sometimes because one person's idea of "works" is different from the distro maker.
