Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

### Current Behavior

Hi, not sure if this is the right place. If not, please direct me to the right place.

## Description
After installing Alma 10.1 minimal and group "KDE Plasma Workspaces" the sddm background is just plain white, so it has white text on a white background. This is because sddm uses /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-breeze-fedora instead of /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze.

## Steps
1. Install AlmaLinux 10.1 from ISO, select minimal install
2. dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
3. systemctl set-default graphical.target
4. systemctl enable sddm.service
5. reboot

## Notes
Copying /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf to /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-breeze-fedora/themes.conf works around the problem.

By default the 01-breeze-fedora theme tries to load /usr/share/backgrounds/default.jxl. It's installed by sddm-breeze-6.4.5-1.el10_1.noarch, which seems to be in both @ System and epel.

Thanks.
