Bug Description
[Impact]
* A bug was discovered by the upstream author of plasma-
were causing high memory usage after being converted from Apple when used in multi-monitor
setups.
* This affects users of Ubuntu Studio where it is installed by default and Kubuntu users that
may have this plugin installed and in-use.
* Since this is a very narrow fringe set of users, this bug has a very minimal impact, but is a
bug nonetheless
[Test Case]
* Convert a wallpaper from the Apple format to the generic HEIC format.
* Use on multiple monitors
* Memory usage will be higher than using standard wallpapers on KDE Plasma.
[Regression Potential]
* Since this is a plugin for KDE Plasma, there is some potential for regression in the desktop
wallpapers. However, since this is a fringe case, and such a small diff, this is highly
unlikely.
