 And Chris finally has done so. Now available on the master branch at

Sweet, I just pushed an update to Gtk+ master to handle the change in 
device-scale
inheritance. This means that Gnome 3.10 will be able to work in HiDPI out of 
the box
if you build it with an snapshot of cairo!

HiDPI stuff partially merged

[Alexander Larsson]

I just merged the wip/window-scales2 branch. This means that gtk+ master
has some level of support for window scaling. 

If you want to test this, you will still need the cairo branch at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/cairo/log/?h=device-scale
(It still builds without it, but doesn't support scaling)

Chris will merge this into cairo master and start a 1.13 version as soon
as he manages to release the latest 1.12.x version, then this will not
be needed. (Also, Chris talked about making cairo automatically inherit
device-scale in cairo_surface_create_similar, if that happens we need to
modify gdk_window_create_similar_surface to not do this.)

I also have some patches to add automatic detection of hidpi screens and
enable the scale at:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gsettings-desktop-schemas/log/?h=wip/window-scales
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/log/?h=wip/window-scales

Also, gnome-shell is pretty broken when Gtk+ is running in scaled mode,
so there is this badhack I use to make gnome-shell work with the above:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/log/?h=wip/window-scales

Highres css assets require a branch atm:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/log/?h=wip/hidpi

Running with all the above on my Chromebook pixel things seems to mostly
work. There are some open issues:

* clutter doesn't respect the window scaling, so the gl rendering is too
  small.

* No support at all for using larger cursors or DnD icons

* As I said above, gnome-shell doesn't handle scaling at all

I'm leaving for vacation after friday and will be back for Guadec... I
might be around now and then, but not much.
