What exactly are you doing, anyway? It seems like you are starting a shadow
session, i.e., connect to the already running "local" X server on the server
machine?

The DPI setting in X2Go Client controls the private X server's - i.e., nxagent's
- DPI value. There's a caveat though, in the sense that desktop environments can
and most likely will overwrite that.

X2Go provides support for hooks via its "extensions" support. I guess it's not
properly documented anywhere yet, but the basic idea is to put scripts into
/usr/lib/x2go/extensions/. The "targets" in there are sort-of self-explanatory.

N.B.: the amount of "targets" available may differ between release and nightly
versions.


All this said, I think a separate user is the "cleanest" and best-working idea.
