This is a big deal. Without the Scale slider Yakkety is now unusable on high DPI displays.

Weird because I can see it here:
/usr/share/unity-control-center/ui/display-capplet.ui

summary: - Some Display settings have gone missing: Scale, Launcher placement

This is due to XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP now containing more than one value, i.e. it is "Unity:Unity7" when it used to be "Unity". u-c-c is still incorrectly doing a simple string comparison to check if it is running under Unity. Looks like this fix for this never got completed / applied (bug 1554878).

gnome-session (3.20.2-1ubuntu6) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Set DesktopNames back to Unity. There are many buggy components that don't
    know how to deal with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP having multiple values, and it's
    too close to the release to fix them all.

Marking invalid since it no longer occurs - it will be fixed by the linked branch ultimately which will allow gnome-session to update XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP if they want.

    (LP: #1554878, #1629668)
  * Ubuntu only supports usernames with lowercase letters. (LP:
    #1600638)

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]

    (LP: #1380364)

  [ <email address hidden> ]
  * Removed "when battery is critical" functionality from the power
    panel as this is now handled by Upower and these settings now do
    nothing. Fixes LP: #1599264 (LP: #1599264)
