On Wayland at least, I have to launch the GUI like:
```
$ GDK_SCALE=3 gp-display-gui
```
otherwise it is so tiny I can't really see any of the menus.

I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52519777/java-swing-app-looks-tiny-on-high-dpi-screen-when-it-should-be-scaled-to-normal which suggested the GDK_SCALE workaround.

(Maybe we can handle this in the .desktop file proposed for bug 66206 somehow.)
