This change is a super hacky way of supporting the fallback desktop background (without caja) on HiDPI displays. It does this by doing two things: using a new function that scales up the background surface; and by loading settings using an updated function that triggers a redraw.
I don't like this. But I've been working for over a month on this thing and this is the only way that I've managed to make it work. What's the point of the traditional desktop metaphor if you don't use icons on the desktop? This whole feature is really broken. :roll_eyes:
