This bug was fixed in the package gnome-settings-daemon -
3.24.2-0ubuntu0.1
---------------
gnome-settings-daemon (3.24.2-0ubuntu0.1) zesty; urgency=medium
* New upstream release (LP: #1689610)
- Fix gdm starting with no plugins which broke Hi-DPI support
on the login screen (LP: #1685035)
- Fix brightness control in some dual-GPU computers (LP: #1683445)
- Own the D-Bus name that the API documentation tells users of the
multimedia keys API they should use (org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys),
in addition to the D-Bus name that they actually use in practice
(org.gnome.SettingsDaemon). (LP: #1686077)
* Add revert-disable-rfkill-keys-handling.patch:
- Revert commit that disabled GNOME's rfkill handling. Although
this fixes problems for some users, it makes things worse for
other people.

Impact
------
GDM's login screen was being start with no gnome-settings-daemons plugins. In
particular, this broke Hi-DPI support in the login screen
Test Case
---------
- Install the update on a computer running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with a Hi-DPI
display (ideally one that worked well with Ubuntu GNOME 16.10).
- Restart your computer.
- The login screen should automatically show at the right scale.
Regression Potential
--------------------
See the other 3.24.2 bugs but this commit is a simple typo fix.
Original Bug Report
-------------------
Ubuntu gnome 17.04, gnome 3.24. On high resolution display, 3200x1800, login
screen is too tiny to read. GDM login screen doesn't reflect changes to
org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor or text-scaling-factor.
Eg:
xhost +SI:localuser:gdm
sudo su gdm -s /bin/bash
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 2.0
no effect.
Creating a gdm user under /etc/dconf and running dconf update has no
effect either. Scaling-factor seems to scale the mouse cursor, but
nothing else.
