patch to keep user's DPI

I'm running startx -dpi 144, but after exiting from spicy's full screen mode Xorg DPI reset to 96. Attached patch fix this issue by keeping user's DPI.

thanks, patch applied. Although it is not recommended to use spicy and to switch resolution, given the poor support by the system for temporary/application resolution switch. Also, this is basically useless for any computer from the past 10y.

And what should be used instead?

spicy is more a test tool for spice-gtk, for checking, experimenting. It's not really supported, and lacks notably a fullscreen interface, and good multimonitor support.
