Bug Description

After booting, the first login attempt *always* loads Unity with incorrect/inconsistent scaling and many settings fail to load. The panel and window titlebars display correctly at 2× scaling, but the desktop icons (nautilus) and other application content is too small. The user interface font is too small and not the right font-family 'Ubuntu'. Fonts render with inconsistent kerning. The Unity Dash also shows the wrong font. Gtk2 themes don't load.

After logging out and in again (sometimes 2 attempty necessary), all configurations load correctly.
