This is the better result I saw until now, thank you very much  !

I obtain nearly what I want.

To draw in Gimp from my smartphone by Weylus :

1. Create an image at the dimensions of the external device (in my case white_smartphone.png on the $HOME/Images folder)
   
2. Be sure Gimp is not running
   
3. From the Gimp profile (in Linux at $HOME/.config/GIMP), backup the profile files sessionrc and gimprc (copy and name them in function of what you want to do - in my case sessionrc_weylus_smartphone and gimprc_weylus_smartphone)
   
4. Open the Gimp's backuped profile with (here with Linux) :
   gimp --session=$HOME/.config/GIMP/2.10/sessionrc_weylus_smartphone --gimprc=$HOME/.config/GIMP/2.10/gimprc_weylus_smartphone $HOME/Images/white_weylus_smartphone.png
   
5. From the Gimp's Preferences, configure with the above solution in Normal Mode (see below why not in Fullscreen Mode) and quit
   
6. Open again to validate that the new profile gives what we want
   

So from now, each time I open Gimp in this way I obtain a (near) perfect solution to draw from my external device. The only thing to do after is to apply Zoom to the selection and hidde docks with Tab key to change tools.

Note the principle of Weylus is to control remotely "by window" from a navigator (which can be set itself in fullscreen) of the external device and as the Gimp's Fullscreen Mode takes the whole area of the monitor (in short the window become the monitor), it will certainly not fit with 1:1 ratio on the external device screen. I suppose that the solution be to stay in Normal Mode and to enlarge the Gimp draw area to the best of the monitor (a factor with the Zoom to the selection Gimp tool) to fit on the whole image representing the external device. Nevertheless until now I did not find a way to remove the Gimp window title bar and totally adjust the Gimp's window (horizontally and vertically) to the image so I have a waste of draw area in my external device.

A picture is worth a thousand words ...

My monitor : 1680 x 1050
My external device : 2312 x 1080

Gives :

   

For now I do not find a way to :

• auto-magically to apply Zoom to the selection after opening Gimp
  
• shrink window to fit perfectly with the image
  

As an extra feature  if you do not have one you can build your stylus to draw on your external touch screen device (this is not professional but that do the trick, I tried it) : https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Stylus

So the problem is resolved if I find a way to better I will post here.

Thank you for the time you spent to me .

See you next time.
