Attempt to debug xrandr behavior in display.el
Currently, after I connect my monitor to my laptop, I run `display/enable-4k`,
which will use `xrandr` to enable the display. The scaling of the enabled
display is not what I expect. So I've habituated re-running the same function,
`display/enable-4k`, which scales the display and meets my expectations.

What's strange is that if instead of running `display/enable-4k` the first time
from Emacs, I call `xrandr ...` from a terminal, this enables the display and
scales it properly on the first invocation.

I'm unsure how to explain this behavior. It's possible that a environment
variable is set properly in the terminal that isn't set in my Emacs, but this is
just a guess.

I'm going to using a different invocation in display.el that explicitly passes
the monitors dimensions. Let's see if that works.
