For me, the GDM screen is scaling the icons and text correctly. However, the pointer is very tiny.
This tiny pointer is also briefly visible on the Plymouth screen just before GDM appears. Once I click on the user name, and hover over the password text box, the cursor scales up to the correct size. It seems as if the pointer retains its original size (from Plymouth), until it encounters a text area. Then it seems to read the gsettings value and resize itself.

In particular, this broke Hi-DPI support in the login screen Test Case --------- - Install the update on a computer running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with a Hi-DPI display (ideally one that worked well with Ubuntu GNOME 16.10). - Restart your computer. - The login screen should automatically show at the right scale. Regression Potential -------------------- See the other 3.24.2 bugs but this commit is a simple typo fix. Original Bug Report ------------------- Ubuntu gnome 17.04, gnome 3.24. On high resolution display, 3200x1800, login screen is too tiny to read. GDM login screen doesn't reflect changes to org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor or text-scaling-factor. Eg: xhost +SI:localuser:gdm sudo su gdm -s /bin/bash gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 2.0 no effect. Creating a gdm user under /etc/dconf and running dconf update has no effect either. Scaling-factor seems to scale the mouse cursor, but nothing else.
