Personally I think what the VDG designed ends up looking a lot better than
letting users drag some clocks and some post-it notes across the desktop.

Changing what is shown is currently is do-able with look and feel packages,
I don't think we need to create a second implementation in addition to
that.

I'd quite like to use the wallpaper plugins from SDDM too; which means
exposing WallpaperInterface in a slightly different manner than you'd
probably be wanting to use for the lock screen, as I can't go via a
Containment.
