If you are connecting to the local X display, this isn't possible currently.

Alternatively, switch the scaling mode via Ctrl-Alt-R. Afterwards, the image
should be non-scaled and navigation possible via Ctrl-Alt-Arrow keys.

I acknowledge that this isn't great, since the huge server-side window is still
being transferred whenever something changes remotely.


A workaround would be to start a separate desktop session with the desired
dimension - although some desktop environments don't support multiple concurrent
sessions for the same user.
