Changing DPI does not have an effect for existing windows. It even does not have an effect on all new windows (e.g. konsole will respect the current setting, xterm won't). You can test that yourself (leaving out x2go completely) by running xrandr --dpi on your local desktop (check the current setting with xdpyinfo | grep dot). A dpi setting that fits for one client might be wrong for another one. If you start a session on one of your machines and reconnect with the other, I am not aware of a good way to make it appear "correct" on both. Specifying the dpi in x2go sets a fixed dpi for _new_ sessions which cannot be changed afterwards, so you are out of options here. Uli
