Sounds great. I was actually meaning to ask about that... :) 

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.

Things seem pretty working. 

One kinda confusing thing is the new scaling. It has 1x (default) and
1.5x and 2x and custom. Any number I enable > 1 causes the screen
resolution to increase more and more (ie, everything is smaller than
native, not larger). If I set it to 0.5 or 0.6 or so it's usable... and
this kind of makes sense if you think of it wanting to scale a highdpi
resolution to a smaller number. It's just backwards of the gnome way
(where scaling means how much to scale all the UI/screens up).
I'm not sure it's a bug or feature. I guess I can file a bug and see
what folks say. 

Otherwise everything seems to work here so far. :)
