Bug#1064335: mutter-common: xwayland apps ignore scaling settings

[Tamás Golubov]

Package: mutter-common
Version: 44.8-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tamas.golubov at gmail.com

Since the upgrade from 44.8-2 "legacy" apps that seem to use XWayland
completely ignore the scaling settings. I have a 4K monitor and scaling set to
200%. When launching VLC, GIMP, synaptic, they appear very small, as they
ignore the scaling settings. Changing scaling on the fly doesn't change
anything, all other elements of the UI respond to the change but not the legacy
apps. Session type is set to Wayland, if I change it in GDM to X11, the same
behavior can be observed, but it's worse. When changing the scaling, the UI
responds, but even the settings app itself doesn't.
