Draft: qml/Shell.qml: Stop using org.gnome.desktop.background gsettings namespace for...

Mike Gabriel requested to merge personal/sunweaver/gsettings-com-lomiri-Shell-namespace into main

qml/Shell.qml: Stop using org.gnome.desktop.background gsettings namespace for obtaining a background picture URI. Use our own namespace instead.

This allows overriding the hard-coded default background image via system-wide and user gsettings. Note that this mostly has an effect on initial login. Whenever the user chooses to configure a custom background AccountsService will kick in and take over.

In previous discussions, it was argued to drop the gsettings config layer for background images entirely and fully employ AccountsService for configuration handling of the background image. However, gsettings is the superior mechanism esp. for 3rd party vendors (such as distributors) to adjust Lomiri defaults.
