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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Khurshid Alam (khurshid-alam):

If a user, already running a Gnome session upgrades or install unity by
installing unity-session, background plugin doesn't start automatically.
This plugin has been removed from gnome-settings-daemon 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?_ga=2.170229856.1568832379.1526976197-354995031.1498808407

Since it's a +junk, I can't request merge proposals. I am also attaching
the diff here.
