Sure, it's a vm-specific behaviour (virtual screen which physical
dimensions can vary unlike real-world-screens) so it can only be fixed
in the vm stack.

No it doesn't. Don't conflate solutions to different problems in a
single mechanism. That thinking is a large part why we have the
current mess. Correct solution to different problems is rarely the
same.

X configuration is intrinsicaly static when use cases contextes are
increasingly dynamic.
