I tried it on both the distros I've used lately (Fedora & Clear Linux). In both cases it popped up without any scaling on my hdpi laptop screen. Not being able to even see enough to be able to research what to do about this, I gave up and went back to Gnome. Same with i3.



If you run i3 inside a gnome-session [1], you get gnome-settings-daemon running, which will set your dpi according to the preferences set in gnome.

I have no doubt it can be done, but that route pursued for every little issue leads to a nightmare of computer-fiddling that is not how I personally wish to spend my life. For OS hobbyists only.
