"I logged in to an Xfce session. All the control panels reported 96 DPI. However, the
DPI reported by xrdb -query -- and used by all the running programs -- remained at 192,
presumably left over from the Unity greeter. But the instant I modified the DPI setting in
Xfce's Appearance control panel, the entire desktop flipped to that DPI value and
stayed there. My guess is that until you touch the DPI value, the setting is not in the
user's xfconf variables, and if it's not present then it doesn't explicitly
get set at login."
the default desktop with the ubuntu tweaked for the gpd pocket was unity. this would,
then, explain why it looked wonderful, just the way i wanted it, initially, and got blown
to smithereens when i set the default wm to tdm. yes?
