It appears to be DPI unaware. My fix for Gnome 3 at 200% on Debian Bullseye: 1. Create a copy of the .desktop to home directory # $ cp /usr/share/applications/x2goclient.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/ 2. Change exec= in ~/.local/share/applications/x2goclient.desktop Exec=env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 x2goclient I found this recommendation in https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html "To get an application designed for low DPI values running on high resolution monitors quickly, consider one of the following:" "set the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to 1." Thanks to akik in the #x2go IRC channel for pointing me in the right direction.
