Public bug reported:

I set resolution in displays to 1360x768
Select Activities and it uses resolution 1920x1020 which is so small it's hard to read.
Some windows are using 1360x768 which is what I want
Some windows revert to max resolution which is barely readable.

ubuntu utopic unity has no such problem.  Set resolution to 1360x768 and
it stays that way.

Example this launchpad bug screen is way too small, switch to terminal
and it's fine.
