font-scaling factor is not aplied early enough

[rubo77]

There are many ways to set the text-scale-factor, for example dconf-editor, I used unity-tweak-util, but in the end they seem to set these values in the global configuration:

    org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor
    com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor

This solves it (for most programms) and everything is in a readeable size.

Now the Problem:

When I boot my PC this setting seems to take its effect later than the desktop is booted, cause when I instantly open nautilus when the desktop is up, I still have it all in a tiny font. If I wait some 10 seconds more and start nautilus then, I have it scaled the right way.

I checked right after boot-time, I opened a console and watched the output of `gsettings list-recursively|grep text-scal` - the setting is already on 2.0, but everything is still tiny.

A solution would solve this issue too: http://askubuntu.com/questions/466174

I looked at all log files to find evidence, what happens the moment the right scalinf finally happens with:

$ alias tail-all-logs='find /var/log -iregex '\''.*[^\.][^0-9]+$'\'' -not -iregex '\''.*gz$'\'' 2> /dev/null | xargs tail -n0 -f | ccze -A'

$ tail-all-logs

this is the last output before it happens:

these are the latest log entries before the font restores
