Screenshot with Scale 1

For example, when connecting to a Mac that is running at native 1920x1080 (no HighDPI on the other side), with a local 3200x1800 highdpi screen:

Test 1:
run QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1 krdc and connect

In this case, the remote's 1920x1080 is scaled up to 3200x1800 and looks sharp. See Screenshot_Scale1.png

Test 2:
run QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=2 krdc and connect

In this case, the remote's 1920x1080 is downscaled to 1600x900 and then scaled back up to 3200x1800. It looks blurred. See Screenshot_Scale2.png

Problem does indeed appear to be gone.
