This makes Unity very difficult to use on retina-like screens, or even a
1080p 13" laptop (160 DPI). If you make fonts large enough to be
comfortably visible, text gets clipped.

The default theme's window decorations also look ugly, because the icons
are constant size... but that may be a different bug.

Title:
  Unity panel height and launcher width don't scale with system DPI/font
  settings

Bug description:
  System Settings > Universal Access > Text size = Larger

  Most things scale properly except Unity. Most of Unity's fonts scale
  correctly, but elements like the launcher, tooltips, and panel don't
  grow like they should.

  I'm not sure if bumping the Gnome font size like this is the right approach or we should be doing something more like:
      xrandr --dpi ...
