Tested this out and it works flawlessly for Firefox, Lollypop, and GIMP (to the extent that GIMP does support HiDPI) with the integer scale factor use case as long as the Font DPI settings haven't been monkeyed with. But that would be a separate issue, since they are known to conflict.

@broulik 5.14 was just released; should we give this a shot for 5.15?

kstartupconfig5, which reads startupconfigkeys to see what to extract. They then get set as env vars.

I guess this can go in so we can have a full cycle of testing?

I think that would make sense. @davidedmundson do you agree? It would be nice to have three months to live with this and see if there are any bugs (my testing is clean FWIW).

@eszlari, can you provide an email address so we can land this with the proper authorship information?
