I think I've found the way to have the scale preferences set with CCSM
sticky across sessions with a freshly 12.10 installation.  Basically,
this is the same workaround than the one suggested in comment #3, except
that we have to use Gsettings, with dconf-editor, instead of Gconf with
gconf-editor (it seems that in 12.10, Unity and Compiz have migrated
from Gconf to Gsettings).  So here's how it works:

First, install dconf-editor:  sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Than, start dconf-editor and find this key:  org/compiz/profiles/unity

Finally, just put the "scale" value completely at the end of the list of
the plugins (be careful to put the coma and spaces exactly at the right
place).

Of course, this is just a workaround and this bug still needs to be
fixed. The basic and obvious way would be to make sure that users CCSM
custom settings are always respected, unless they are really
incompatible with Unity settings.  But since Ubuntu/Unity already
provide scale functions with the super-w key combo, the best way would
be to integrate some scale activation by mouse/button within Unity
itself, i.e. maybe in relation with the Launcher.
