It's still a UX issue if you have a button controlling the slider. When the
button is not pressed, the slider is greyed out. If you try to drag it, you
drag the entire window. And if the slider is left in fully zoomed out position,
the scale button does nothing.

Please reconsider and merge the two into one control only. I recommend getting
the zoom control from Okular, so one can select no scaling, 200% scaling, fit
to width, etc. Not a slider at all.

> Scale button is also toolbar only. No UX problem here.

It's in the menu: Session > Scale Remote Screen to Fit Window Size. At a
minimum, you must change this menu text, because "Fit Window Size" is not
correct any more, if the actual scaling factor is controlled by the slider. As
above, I recommend a simple Zoom option.

Which is why it's a UX problem. It's not very discoverable and behaves the
opposite of most zoom sliders, which is what this will be compared to.

I beg to differ. Moving the slider to the left so the content becomes bigger is
counter-intuitive.
