Right, I found that as well. I have also tried just installing a
`plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` via /etc/skel and set the wallpaper
there, but that didn't work either (and of course that wouldn't be a great
solution either).

Thanks for describing how it works, appreciate the effort you put into this
reply!
Unfortunately it doesn't really help however. The proposal here is at least as
complex, but untested, as the tested workaround I already have (writing that JS
file, writing a custom theme that inherits things from Breeze and then somehow
setting that theme as default).
This issue is about dramatically reducing the complexity to set a wallpaper
with e.g. a simple config file as written in the top post.
