--- Comment #17 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This turns out to be much harder on X11 than I thought.
The thing that sets the scale factor (using environment variables) runs after
the thing that propagates environment variables to apps and Plasma. So on first
boot, the scale will still be wrong, but fix itself on subsequent boots.
Making it right on the first boot would require fundamentally re-architecting
the whole system to move the scale factor generation logic into a new thing
that runs earlier, which is hard because it has dependencies on code in the
place where it already lives.
This all works properly on Wayland, and we have better auto-scaling there for
Plasma 5.27. I think fixing this on X11 is not worth the effort at this point
in time, given the huge re-architecting required, the risk of breakage it would
entail, and how usable the Wayland session is now.
Anyone who feels up to fixing this properly on X11 is welcome to try, of
course.
