[mythtv-users] HiDPI display

Greetings,

I have a laptop with a 4k display that I run at 200% (HiDPI mode),
running GNOME on Wayland. Up-to-date Debian testing. This worked great
with MythTV frontend until recently.

What I see now is that mythfrontend makes a window (or fullscreen
surface) that's 2x the display's size (in both dimensions), with the UI
and video in the lower left quadrant. 
If I specify --geometry=1920x1080, the window fits on the screen, but
again the UI and video occupy only the lower left quadrant.

If I turn off HiDPI everything works properly -- but of course other
apps are way too small to be usable.

Unfortunately I don't know what component changed: MythTV (32-fixes),
Qt5, and xwayland all got updated around the time this broke. Has
anyone seen (and hopefuly fixed) something like this?

Thanks,
-Doug
