Bug ID: 482880
Summary: SDDM KCM should not make a copy of the default theme
background
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.0.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_sddm

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm using Breeze as an example, but the issue is generic.
The Breeze SDDM theme sets its default background with
`background=/usr/share/wallpapers/Next/contents/images/5120x2880.png`
in theme.conf.
When Plasma upgrades and the default wallpaper changes, the file at
/usr/share/wallpapers/Next/contents/images/5120x2880.png changes and SDDM
should reflect the new background.
But if the user ever changed the SDDM theme and then returns to Breeze, the
wallpaper has now been copied to /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/ and SDDM will
forever use that copy that won't update when the original file changes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select the "Breeze" theme
2. Change `/usr/share/wallpapers/Next/contents/images/5120x2880.png` with a
different image
3. Logout
OBSERVED RESULT
Wallpaper hasn't changed
EXPECTED RESULT
Background changed
