Disabled Standby (DPMS) in 7db2842a84

Fast-Forward to now... That was a bad idea: I got to know what LCD Retention is...
As such, I'm reverting that change in 818530bf55

The scaling issue was solved in f645c33035.
Apparently, having BOTH scaling env vars (GDK_SCALE, etc.) AND .Xresources: Xft.dpi scales some things twice or thrice, so I figured I'd disable all of the env vars...
That worked.

A scaling patch for the cursor is still to be done.
I somehow, for the longest time did not notice that my cursor is tiny.
Since I didn't notice and will probably not pay that much attention to it, it's not a pressing issue; it should be done at some point however.

A scaling patch for the cursor is still to be done. I somehow, for the longest time did not notice that my cursor is **tiny**. Since I didn't notice and will probably not pay *that* much attention to it, it's not a *pressing* issue; it should be done at some point however.
