The best way is to set the DPI to what it really is for your screen..

Is your screen really 474x356mm? Probably not (unless you have a 24" screen
with a very shitty resolution).. Which means X misdetects the size and thus
the calculated dpi. Which makes it a bug in your X driver instead of
gnome-control-center.
