FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop 16.04

HEADLINE: Fix multi monitor different resolution scaling without imprisoning the mouse cursor.

Description: This bug here, actual working scaling with different resolution display using xrandr --scale.

I have been banging my head against the wall on this one, it's a reasonably hard fix I can imagine but the benefits with 4K screens coming and real scaling between displays with different resolution actually working would fix my current headache. This is imo such a basic thing when using a multi monitor setup and now with a new 4K laptop and 1080p extra monitor I want to kick a donkey out of frustration.

Mostly because the exact setting I need is there and it scales the display just the way I need it. But it's bugged and the mouse cursor is stuck to traversing the unscaled resolution.
