Bug Description

See

https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/163#comment:25

It is impossible to reliably set the dpi with xdummy otherwise. This means that applications relying on xdummy (such as some
remote desktop apps and notably xpra), do not work well with the xdummy shipped in ubuntu.

A package with the relevant fix is available at https://launchpad.net/~callegar/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

The patch is not at all invasive.

I especially would love this patch in an 14.04 update, as I'm stuck at LTS at work per company policy.

Would be great to see the xpra required patches included.

Fix pointer limits is needed as otherwise the pointer area will be limited to the initial screen size. So, if you attach it on something higher resolution, you're limited to a smaller area of the screen.
