Is GTK really responsible for setting up the session settings? It's the default hinting setting that's wrong and that might simply be because there is no gnome-settings-daemon to read the Ubuntu default settings for hinting.
Normally you could fix it with: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings hinting slight But that doesn't seem to work under Unity8.
