The physical size of the display rarely matters much (only for DPI
calculations), only the resolution is relevant to your problem.

In this case, from your log output it seems that the client was running
at 1366x768. The server resolution is not shown.

(When I run Xpra client on T400 to connect to Xpra server on C55dt-a,  same problem: the client window also has no scrollbar and resize in the window's menu is also disabled.)

It is pretty rare these days to run a DE without transparency.

As suggested in my previous reply:
"you could use the desktop-scaling option or the scaling option from the
system tray to downscale the window."

If that is not sufficient for your needs, please create a ticket.

Cheers,
