My display is 2560x1440. I have the HIDPI setting at 1.75 to increase
text and icon sizes (giving an effective screen resolution of
~1463x883).

If the HIDPI setting is 1, text and icons are small in all applications.
When I increase the HIDPI setting (eg. to 1.75), font sizes and icons
increase in size, but nautilus does not change. I expect nautilus to
have an increased font size and icon size. I can attach screenshots to
clarify this, as I don't think my explanation is clear.

Title:
  Nautilus does not follow HIDPI setting

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading from 15.04 to 15.10, nautilus does not follow the
  HIDPI settings from System Settings -> Screen Display after
  boot/login. Restarting nautilus corrects corrects this and it follows
  the HIDPI settings.

  1) Ubuntu 15.10
  2 nautilus:
    Installed: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu13
    Candidate: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu13
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu13 0

       1:3.14.2-0ubuntu12 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages

  3) I expect HIDPI settings to be followed on boot/login without restarting nautilus
  4) HIDPI settings are only followed after killing and restarting nautilus
