SUMMARY
Animated Gif wallpapers don't use hardware acceleration, instead processing
everything on the CPU. VA-API is installed and vainfo shows that hardware
acceleration is active.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set an animated gif as wallpaper (higher resolution, more frames, or having
additional monitors makes issue more apparent)
OBSERVED RESULT
CPU usage goes up, indicating that the CPU is processing the wallpaper and not
the GPU
EXPECTED RESULT
GPU handles displaying GIF wallpapers
