server xfce-4.16 desktop WM-resolution fixed at SXGA 1280x1024 (despite --resize-display=yes), for 6.1.3-10.r0.el8 (any > xpra-server-5.0.9-10.r5.el8), rocky-linux-8.9

[sto6]

Using xpra repo, I noticed 6.1.x xpra-server now available so tried them. But the desktop does not resize to the client, always remains fixed at 1280x1024. Going backwards I found xpra-server-5.0.9-10.r5.el8 works.

For working resize-display:

dnf erase --noautoremove xpra\*
dnf install xpra-server-5.0.9-10.r5.el8 xpra-x11-5.0.9-10.r5.el8

Versions that work: xpra-server-5.0.7-10.r0.el8, xpra-server-5.0.9-10.r5.el8 Versions that fail: xpra-server-5.0.10-10.r0.el8, xpra-server-6.1.2-10.r1.el8, xpra-server-6.1.3-10.r0.el8

Server-start command:

xpra start-desktop :33 --exit-with-children=yes --start-child=startxfce4 --resize-display=yes --desktop-scaling=no --dpi=96 --audio=no
