I tried this ~/.xinitrc first at a test: Then I tried: #!/usr/bin/env bash #xrdb -query | grep -v Xft.dpi | xrdb -load & export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" echo "Xft.dpi: 120" | xrdb -override exec /usr/bin/xterm & exec openbox #exec cinnamon-session That got an xterm open, from which I entered xrdb -query | grep Xft to find 120, then strace cinnamon-session 2>&1 | grep open. Screen went black, then I was returned to shell prompt from which I ran startx. So next I tried this ~/.xinitrc: #!/usr/bin/env bash #xrdb -query | grep -v Xft.dpi | xrdb -load & export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" echo "Xft.dpi: 120" | xrdb -override exec /usr/bin/xterm & #exec openbox exec strace cinnamon-session 2>&1 | grep open That got both xterm and cinnamon session going, but left no output anywhere I could see or find, including not touching .xsession-errors. lsof|wc -l produces 12363. Whether I should be able to find a clue in lsof output I have no idea, so maybe it's time to find cinnamon people to ask how it's supposed to work. >> xrdb -query | grep -v Xft.dpi | xrdb -load & >> export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" >> export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" >> export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8" >> export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" >> exec cinnamon-session > I bet that cinnamon-session ultimately re-sets the xrdb (as does KDE on > starting up) That would surprise me none.
