I'm not sure if this is being worked on for the Unity desktop in Ubuntu, but you might like to try the Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" beta 1 which is based on GNOME 3.10 - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/Beta1/UbuntuGNOME for info and download links. As per https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.10 /more-core-ux.html.en GNOME 3.10 includes High-Resolution Display Support. Further improvements are coming to the GNOME Shell in GNOME 3.12 which is scheduled for release in March or early April - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTYwMjE

This is rather annoying for users of high DPI screens. GNOME and KDE (used?) to set 96 DPI by default in their settings. We should check whether they still do, and if so let them handle this; I don't think X should be handling this.
