Make scaling of domUs consistent with GUI domain #9544

How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.2.2

Brief summary

on a hidpi monitor, or a 4K monitor maybe, it is common for users to configure scaling settings for better usability (for example 2x scaling). if a user configures such scaling in dom0, other qubes do not conform to the scaling setting, resulting in those windows being tiny (though the window decoration is the correct scaling, as one would expect)

Steps to reproduce

  1. configure scaling in dom0
  2. launch a qube from a pristine default template
  3. behold, the content in that qube's windows is tiny

Expected behavior

it would be great if the qube could pick up the scaling from dom0 and adjust accordingly

Actual behavior

dom0's scaling settings have no effect on qubes that are launched

xterm does not comply with XFCE settings (nor with KDEs). It uses its own ~/.Xresources configuration file.

Having said that, the defaults for minimal templates are not nice. Maybe they should ship with a custom .Xresources file.

@andrewdavidwong i'm not sure the new title is describing what i am trying to file the issue about (if so, it's not clear). what i mean is that the scaling of a domU should match its guivm. i'm not sure custom ~/.Xresources describes that.
