Public bug reported:
There is a check in the copy worker that looks to see if the user
running the copy worker owns the files it is trying to copy
```
if (!g_file_query_exists (src, NULL) ||
!file_is_ours (src))
exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
```
From all my testing, the copy worker will always run as a newly created
user, and thus not own the file in /run/gnome-initial-setup and always
exit here.
My workaround in provd is to update the ownership of the file in
/run/gnome-initial-setup to the newly created user before booting into
their session, allowing this check to pass.
Without this workaround, several settings applied in the gnome-initial-
setup new user flow (mainly a11y) are not persisted to the new user
after the gis process concludes.
