I'd you resize the local window the desktop within the session will resize, too. Maybe you can also use xdotool for that. If the local window will span multiple screens this will reflect in the xrandr configuration within the session (see xrandr output).

Hi Michael: Thanks for the input, it is very useful for me as I had no idea about wmctrl. As far as I can understand though, wmctrl would change the window size on the local side, so if I connect to a desktop session it would be just rescaled, which is not always what I want. I want to change the resolution on the remote side so it coincides with the native resolution on the local one. Then I need xrandr on the remote. The combination of the two can actually do what I want: remove some blurring due to interpolation etc. Regards, Andrey

Hi Andrey & Neal,
Another command that might be helpful is wmctrl, from the man page:
wmctrl is a command that can be used to interact with an X Window manager that is compatible with the EWMH/NetWM specification. wmctrl can query the window manager for information, and it can request that certain window management actions be taken.
And here is something I use to resize and position an X2GO session on one monitor:
wmctrl -r X2GO -e 0,0,0,3768,2123
Regards, Michael

Let's say I started an x2go session (xfce) from my laptop, which happens to be 1920x1600. Later I connect to that same session, this time using a monitor with say 3840x2160. Now I need to resize everything. Going the other way is even worse. How do you handle this? Thanks, Neal
