No worries, thanks for looking into it.  I'm just trying to figure out a
possible way to move to Wayland.  I need to make sure that all document and
image applications, those that are scaling aware as well as those that aren't, 
show content at true printed scale (1cm on screen = 1cm on paper).  I had hoped
to set QT_USE_PHYSICAL_DPI globally as a simple approach, possibly I can set it
as a per application level.

For the moment we will stay on X11, so this isn't an urgent issue.  When
considering the switch to Wayland, we're still undecided on what to do.  We've
been using KDE for more than two decades because of its flexibility, that would
seem the easiest route.  Perhaps we could stay with X11, maybe move to
Trinity/KDE3.  Or try something new like COSMIC.  Wayland related Nvidia GPU
driver changes seem to be creating a lot of paper cuts at the moment, we'll at
least delay any further thought until they settle down.
