Yes, something along those lines.

Part of it could be done by x2go (startup, reconnect, terminate) and
the other part by the user, eg. via $HOME/.config/autostart (for
situations when x2go session terminates uncleanly and then the user
starts a local session).

The latter could be done through autodetection, but that approach would
make any user specific DPI for local session obsolete after re-login...

Once I have time I try to look at it, because running the gsettings
command once the user is logged in is suboptimal (e.g. Skype has to be
restarted to reflect the new DPI).
