Hi!

As I'm trying to set up a Lenovo P52 with HiDPI display (and external nVidia GPU -- don't buy one without right now) I'm close to getting rid of it completely and install Windows on it...

1) Xfce is not bringing in a single HiDPI theme and the window decorations are looking extremely awful unless you find one of the scarce themes adapted for this. It would be nice to have at least one Theme suitable for an environment like this n the standard distribution. At least it is xfce -- setting resolution (and some other things) in .Xresources (or the default file in /etc) is solving the worst problems easily.

2) The Fedora VMs delivered with Qubes right now are still fully Gnome based, so just copying an appropriate Xresources is not sufficient (luckily someone created an fc28-xfce template VM; could we please have that as part of the standard distribution?) and one has to jump through hoops to set up the template correctly.

Could whoever is doing the VM startup scripts right now (still Marek?) consider expanding the X setup scripting to not only getting the screen size in pixels into the virtual X server but also the correct resolution and add a very late script that will, independently of the virtual session manager, move a copy of the X resource db data from Dom0 into the VM (in the current fedora template this is messed up by gsd-xsettings which is merrily overwriting what came from Xresources via xinitrc).

Petition: Take the developers' Lenovo laptops and replace them with generation 6 HiDPI X1 (and to completely annoy kernel developers they have to be using P52 or similar systems).
