I was using the login window as an example.

All windows are scaled larger, considerably larger, than my prior 
install of xfce. For instance the "Settings Manager" window takes up 
about 40% of the screen. If I open two Settings Manager windows, they 
take the entire width of the screen, and ~80% of the height.
