get-scale-factor.py script broken

[vincentbernat]

Hey!

After latest update, get-scale-factor.py does not work anymore:

bash-5.1$ DISPLAY=:0 python3
Python 3.10.6 (main, Nov 10 2011, 15:00:00) [GCC 12.1.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import xsettings
>>> settings = xsettings.get_xsettings()

strange, i am not seeing this issue on either of my devices:

[MyDevice ~]$ flatpak install spotify
Looking for matches…
Remotes found with refs similar to ‘spotify’:

   1) ‘flathub’ (system)
   2) ‘flathub’ (user)

Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-2]: 1
Found ref ‘app/com.spotify.Client/x86_64/stable’ in remote ‘flathub’ (system).
Use this ref? [Y/n]: y
Skipping: com.spotify.Client/x86_64/stable is already installed
[MyDevice ~]$ flatpak run --command=bash com.spotify.Client 
[MyDevice ~]$ ls
Music  Pictures
[MyDevice ~]$ cd /
[MyDevice /]$ ls

no nvm i see the issue

This appears it can be fixed with an update to the xsettings script. i will create a pr now.

Could you check to see if that pr resolves this issue?
