Bug Description
[ Impact ]
While using Gnome-Initial-Setup launched from GDM (when no user > 1000 is present on the machine), no background is set on GNOME-Greeter, leading to a solid blue background wallpaper.
Gnome-Initial-Setup is currently used on OEM shipped devices to provide a first user setup flow. We plan to also use it for a Raspberry Pi first user flow. We have received lots of feedback that the solid blue background is not in line with the Flutter installer and looks like an error occurred / the wallpaper failed to load.
By updating /usr/share/
```
# for GDM/DM
# FIXME: move to :Ubuntu-Greeter once upstream supports this, see LP: #1788
[org.gnome.
gtk-theme = 'Yaru'
icon-theme = 'Yaru'
cursor-theme = 'Yaru'
font-name = 'Ubuntu 11'
monospace-font-name = 'Ubuntu Mono 13'
font-antialiasing = 'rgba'
[org.gnome.
logo='/
+ [org.gnome.
+ picture-uri = 'file:/
+ picture-uri-dark = 'file:/
+ show-desktop-icons = false
```
I was able to add in one. This will help improve the GIS installer flow for Raspberry Pi we plan to support in 24.10 and the OEMs

[ Test Plan ]
To test this change, you can follow the test plan for Gnome-Initial-Setup up to the point where you have launched the GDM Gnome-Initial-Setup session and Gnome-Initial-Setup has appeared. You should see the default Ubuntu wallpaper, not a solid blue wallpaper, behind Gnome-Initial-

[ Where problems could occur ]
If the path to the wallpaper is invalid, the session reverts to its blue background, returning to its current state.
