--- Comment #4 from Prod_EGO <[email protected]> ---
I’d like to clarify just one more thing to ensure we’re completely on the same
page, as I think the 'Sync' button discussion might be a bit of a red herring
for this specific request.

The proposal isn't actually about automating the complex process of syncing
files from `/home` (which, as you noted, has major technical and privacy
hurdles). Instead, it's about dynamic state management for system-wide assets.

If we look at the architecture:

- The backend already knows how to render these assets (as demonstrated in Bug
517325 via manual config).

- By using assets already present in `/usr/share/`, we bypass all encryption
and permission concerns entirely.

- The 'User Selected' event already exists in the greeter UI.

The 'missing link' is purely the logic to connect that Trigger to a Property
Update. Essentially, when a user is clicked, the Greeter would simply update
its wallpaper/theme variables to the IDs associated with that user in a
configuration file.

Framed this way, the task isn't about building a new sync engine, but rather
making the Greeter UI responsive to its own internal state. If the plumbing for
custom assets and user-selection is already there, connecting them seems like a
high-impact way to 'premiumize' the experience with relatively low overhead.
