Seems fixed in r16382.

(unfortunately, we have to whitelist the options that do get forwarded so it is possible I've missed one)

Haven't tested yet, but there are options I didn't find in PROXY_START_OVERRIDABLE_OPTIONS:

key-shortcut, env, desktop-scaling, dpi

comment:4 Changed 2 months ago by Antoine Martin

Options like key-shortcut, desktop-scaling are only used by the client so they don't need to be forwarded.
dpi: the client will forward it to the server on connection, which is a little bit different admittedly, so r16384 fixes that.
env and start-env added in r16383.

Important fix as part of r16502 (for #1105 mostly): we don't want to honour env when running as root. A user could potentially use this to subvert the system wide proxy service.

Closing, feel free to re-open if I've missed something.
