To be clear: I would prefer our background/wallpaper panel to look more
like Ubuntu's.

We don't have to bring everything back, and we don't have to expose the
preferences exactly as Tweak Tool does. But we could offer a setting
like "crisp" or "sharp" ("too narrow" or "unantialiased" to detractors)
vs. "smooth" ("blurry" to detractors), for example. If we could find
default settings that work for everyone, then we wouldn't need
settings, but clearly we can't.
