background: only load a single background per idle

Christian Hergert requested to merge wip/chergert/chunked-texture-loading into main

This is a minimum effort to help avoid stalling the main loop by doing a single background per idle at a lower priority than the redraw of GTK.

Ideally, libgnome-desktop would provide an asynchronous loading mechanism for the GdkPixbuf but that will basically require a rewrite of it given all the state it manages synchronously.

This also allows the background to snapshot "nothing" until it's texture has been loaded.
