Since upgrading my client to 0.15.0, there is something wrong with the DPI settings when I am at work and using an external monitor attached to my laptop. It results in fonts so small as to be unreadable. (The problem does not occur when I do not have an external monitor attached to my laptop. I also had not found any problems with any of the 0.14.* clients.)
The client is 0.15.0 running on Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE.
The server is 0.15.0 running on Ubuntu 14.04.
If I start the client with "xpra attach --dpi=96 ..." then everything is fine.

As per this post, the problem is not specific to 0.15
Have the same problem, client switch --dpi=96 or --dpi=72 fixes the problem. When --dpi=200 is used fonts in gnome menus are huge.
Server restart is not required to fix a problem. Java applications are not affected.
Server: ubuntu 14.04 Client: Mac OS X + 30" 2500x1600
I can confirm this on Debian testing with xpra 0.15.2+dfsg-2.
I have 96dpi on client and 96dpi set as default on xpra server. But when I connect, I get some pretty weird values:
DPI set to 45 x 25 (wanted 96 x 96)
client --dpi switch help, but default behavior seems weirdly bugged.
AFAIK, this only occurs if you use an unpatched dummy driver, in which case it's always wrong - you just notice it less.
I don't think we can do any better, the correct solution is #56. See also #728, #732.
Note: Ubuntu breaks Xdummy, please bug them to figure out why.
