[X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI

[Simon Baev]

I saw this setting but for some reason it didn't affect anything when I
changed it to 96. Could it be caused by the fact that ongoing (not logged
out) session was active on the server (physical console) while I was trying
to remotely connect to it via X2Go?

The only way I found to connect to that server with reasonable DPI was to
create a separate user that runs default settings, but that doesn't seem to
be a good fix.
