Hi Gionn !
I think I might use a part of your solution as an answer to my issue : adjusting dpi for i3 with no impact on xfce.
The thing is I use SLIM instead of gdm, so I imagine there is an equivalent of
$GDMSESSIONthat I could write to make it work. Something more generic or in the contrary specific to SLIM.Would you know about that ? Thank you !
