Hi Ian, thank you for reconsidering.

Regarding Autofit configuration on a per-VM basic, although that would
be a really nice feature :), I suggest that would not solve the root
issue. Although I did mention "Autofit guest (change guest resolution)"
as a possible "Workaround option 2", there are situations with Ubuntu or
similar where I still want it to use "Stretch guest (no resolution
change)". Namely where I need to have the VM in a window, not full
screen, whilst referring to something on the host side by side. In these
situations, all of the Autofit options make the resolution too small for
me to easily read on a 27 inch 4K monitor. Whereas the "Stretch guest
(no resolution change)" setting will keep the text in windowed mode the
same size as it was in full screen mode, including the Gnome fractional
scaling. In these cases I cannot see the whole desktop in windowed mode
but I can at least resize whatever is on the desktop so the part I need
to see is visible. Scroll bars may actually be useful here, as it would
obviate needing to resize anything.
