[Bug 1398208] [NEW] unity fails to load after booting with high-dpi screen

 

Public bug reported:

After booting, the first login attempt *always* loads Unity with
incorrect/inconsistent scaling and many settings fail to load. The panel
and window titlebars display correctly at 2× scaling, but the desktop
icons (nautilus) and other application content is too small. The user
interface font is too small and not the right font-family 'Ubuntu'.
Fonts render with inconsistent kerning. The Unity Dash also shows the
wrong font. Gtk2 themes don't load.

After logging out and in again (sometimes 2 attempty necessary), all
configurations load correctly.
