Title:
  Unity: Force start background plugin

Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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 (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.
