If so, how does one permanently prevent the unity-greeter-daemon scaling to account for HiDPI? I have the following set:
Unity Tweak Tools->Fonts-> "Text Scaling Factor" has been set to 1.00 System Settings->Displays->"Scale for menu and title bars" has been set to 1 Note, that this "scaling" effect does not occur after the first instance (immediately after booting up). Each subsequent calls to the greeter results in the greeter remembering the User's wallpaper and changing it accordingly and maintains a consistent screen resolution. \-- Ian G Canino Telegram: [@iangadev](telegram.me/iangadev) Telephone: 347-225-4146 Sent from [Nylas N1](https://nylas.com/n1?ref=n1), the extensible, open source mail client.

Then, after about half a second it is automatically changed to 1280x800. This happens systematically at each boot.
