Sadly, if you want mature hiDPI support then we're going to have to take
Xorg out of the equation...
The fix Chris did seems like a reasonable workaround. It just removes
some of the functionality I was asked to add. However it doesn't qualify
as Critical (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance)
This commit¹ in xmir git makes XMir behave like Xorg - it respects the
-dpi command-line parameter, defaulting to 96DPI.
As it makes XMir behave like desktop Xorg we'll need the same
compiz/toolkit/application level tweaks we currently use on the desktop
to enable HiDPI mode if we want XMir
