I have one video card and one monitor, running Etch amd64 with an Etch-i386 chroot for flash. I log in from the VT and run startx to get X going. I run icewm.
I have my usual username for regular use and web browsing with javascript and flash turned off (actually, in amd64 there is no flash). I have a second username for browsing the web when a site needs javascript or flash, this user using the iceweasel in the chroot. That's just the background and the problem doesn't have anything to do with iceweasel. The problem: Log is as one user (doesn't matter which), startx, get a normal X display looking as it should. Now log in as the other user and run /usr/bin/startx -- :1 and everything is a bit larger (fonts and icons are a bit bigger). Actually, even with only one user, if I run /usr/bin/startx -- :1 (or 0) then everything is larger than /usr/bin/startx That is, with only one instance of the X server running, specifying a display changes something about how things get rendered. If I try: /usr/bin/startx -- -dpi 100 :1 then I just get the gray X screen and no window manager running. Its only a minor annoyance and I'm assuming that the problem is somewhere in debian's nested X magic. Even if there isn't a solution, I'd be interested in knowing the cause. Any ideas?
