[Bug 1772798] Re: Unity: Force start background plugin

[Khurshid Alam]

** Description changed:

  If a user, already running a Gnome session upgrades or install unity by
  installing unity-session, background plugin doesn't start automatically
  (with u-s-d). This plugin has been removed from gnome-settings-daemon
- and since gsd doesn't use it, it gets turned off.
+ (Ubuntu carries a patch which only adds back the schema) and since gsd
+ doesn't use it, it gets turned off.
  
  The background plugin is necessary to sync background related settings
  (wallpaper, sound, messages) with unity-greeter. If it doesn't start
  with u-s-d, changing wallpaper will not change the background of unity-
  greeter.
  
  The change was introduced in https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-
  settings-daemon-team/unity-settings-daemon/trunk/revision/4179
  
  This can be done in gsettings-override (In unity specific section)
  
  [org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background:Unity]
  active = true
  
  Merge should happen against https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  desktop/+junk/ubuntu-settings
  
  Since it's a +junk, I can't request merge proposals. I am also attaching
  the diff here.
