I will consider what Jim wrote,
Thanks. :-)
as my own problem is similar. I haven't stated it
explicitly before,
because I assumed others (being sensible) would do as I do.
The reason I want a kind of one-size-fits-all solution
is that I
like to copy my working system and transfer it to other machines.
Me too. And part of what has made that tricky to do in a "seamless"
way is the X server's treachery.
I do very little in the way of changing my settings
when I move from
laptop > desktop > laptop > the next miracle device. About the only
obvious difference is that I have to hit Ctrl-+ two or three times
when I view webpages; otherwise, my system is pretty much identical
on my laptop as it was only seven or eight earlier machines, each of
them quite different in specs.
And that is a good accomplishment (it would be better if you didn't
have to hit Ctrl-+, but it is still pretty good).
I have solved this problem by correcting the lie that the X server
tells us. Might I ask how you have made your settings work across a
wide variety of systems?
Cheers.
