folks,
thanks for the tips and ideas! frankly, you are great.
I constructed a smarter google search string and found this solution:
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
for persistence across boots, some say to put this line in:
/etc/profile.d/gnome-qt.sh
I haven't tested that yet.
the OpenOffice problem is not fixed (menu items invisible except with
mouse-over). one rabbit-hole at a time.
