[FreeNX-kNX] DPI an issue with 1.5?

[Sunil]

isn't a fallback better than just failing the session,
which typically means killing all open vi windows or
anything else that was going on? In my mind, the
fallback should be tried anyway, that's why I said it
should be there...when the lossy value is '1', I noted
it was trying the 'fixed' font for something it
couldn't find a match for, which (or an available
equivalent of) I think has been the age old fallback
mechanism of X for any application. I have rarely seen
an app which fails just because X couldn't find a font
the app asked for.

And yeah, I was wondering why the argument is there
but never used for any of the component reconnections.

If you are saying that the new codepath with patch has
a serious problem, then you may be right, because I
understand very little of NX....:)

Thanks,
-Sunil
