Public bug reported:

I wear my Ubuntu Developer hat here.

arctica-greeter 0.99.0.4-1 was uploaded to Debian Sid today, and except
for one (relatively major) commit, is a bugfix release. Here is the full
diff: https://github.com/ArcticaProject/arctica-
greeter/compare/0.99.0.3...0.99.0.4

The one commit that I have concerns about breaking Feature Freeze is this one 
in particular:
 - Port HiDPI support from slick-greeter. - 
https://github.com/ArcticaProject/arctica-greeter/commit/7ddfa06d6248ca18e33781ec8ba20163fc4c2ad5

This has a change of: 107 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

The gist of this commit is adding a script that checks for HiDPI support, 
configuration values for it, and if the detection reveals that the monitor 
supports HiDPI, it sets the scale factor with the following line:
GLib.Environment.set_variable ("GDK_SCALE", "2", true);

I believe this is beneficial to include in Ubuntu 18.04 because the rest
of the commits are bugfixes, and HiDPI support is important for a lot of
users with modern displays. This commit is also fairly non-intrusive and
uses built-in GDK functions which are known to be sane.

Thanks.
