Public bug reported:

Please find attached a screenshot of the "ideal" scaling factor requiity
red for my HiDPI laptop screen to be useable.

In the Displays, setting I've set menu and titlebars to be scaled by 1.75 to 
get large enough buttons.
In the Ubuntu-Tweak-Tool, I've set the text scaling factor to 1.2 to make 
application menu fonts readable.

Unity seems to forget these and uses some random values after a restart.
