`Display` `User interface scale` `200 %` resets on VirtualBox reboot (and login and waiting a bit) #5

At least being able to set it back thanks to a command would be nice. However, dconf does not seem to contain any interesting entry (https://superuser.com/q/1006983).

xrandr --output Virtual1 --scale 0.5x0.5

provides a pixelized display with modified mouse input sensitivity and make things that worse that I do not know how to start Display such that I can check whether User interface scale is 100 % or 200 %.

gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "[{'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor', <2>}]"

does not switch to 200 % in Display and does not resize the taskbar.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2051489#p2051489 does the trick and seems legitimate.

Tracked at Benjamin_Loison/virtualbox#2.
