Huge icons after upgrade

After upgrading the gnome desktop seams to be somehow corrupted. The folder and other icons are much enlarged comp
ared to before the upgrade. It looks like the resolution does not match. But the size of the fonts seam to be alright. I don't know which package xorg, gnome, ... may cause this problem. I see it on two different machines a laptop and a desktop.

Yes, it's awful, but:

If you still don't like the "small" size, which I reckon is also awful, do what I did and switch to nemo instead of nautilus.

Re: Huge icons after upgrade

They changed the default icon size to larger in nautilus. You can change the default size from nautilus preferences.
There are other threads about this subject and could be better workarounds too.
