backports elementary/switchboard-plug-pantheon-shell@e4f86df

Motivation for this change

Setting the lightdm background with the lightdm-gtk-greeter was broken.
This patch should have that working as expected.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

@worldofpeace sure. can you tell me the steps for testing? should the desktop background for a user also be used in the greeter?

@worldofpeace sure. can you tell me the steps for testing? should the desktop background for a user also be used in the greeter?

  1. open switchboard and select a desktop background in the Desktop plug.
  2. Log Out or Lock the session. The wallpaper for the greeter should be the same
    as the one you selected for the session.

Oh, i thought i had to backport the commit also, but it's already there. Then it's easy to test.

I can confirm this works also on stable. Thanks!
