Yes, that indeed is easier to implement. Unfortunately, the desktop
shell would fall back to setting 0x00000000 even if we were to comment
out background-image and background-color in the config. This would
obscure our color because the background-color set by the desktop shell
would fill the complete display resolution on a plane. I see 2 options:

* We can make desktop-shell.c skip the setting of the background color
if a color is provided for an output. Unfortunately, the desktop shell
sets the color for background and not per output.

* The other option would be that we ignore desktop shell's background
when the color is provided in the output. But here we cannot identify if
the client set a wallpaper or a plain color.

With the above issues, I don't think we can go for this implementation.

Please correct me if I have got something wrong.

Thank you
