How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.2.2

Brief summary

dom0 and lightdm's gui interfaces don't scale properly by default on hidpi screens. they use normal scaling, which results in extremely small rendering in all windows/desktops

Steps to reproduce

  1. buy a hidpi monitor
  2. install qubes
  3. boot to qubes
  4. behold, tiny windows

Expected behavior

properly detect if the primary monitor is hidpi, and scale accordingly

Actual behavior

the scaling for lightdm and dom0 are normal (1x) no matter what, and thus tiny on hidpi monitors
