Description
When using wf-background with Wayfire and fractional scaling, at first the wallpaper behaves normally, but once you switch to a TTY or another graphical session then you come back to Wayfire's session, the wallpaper is very blurry and looks like a low resolution image.
This was tested with wf-shell 0.10.0 and Wayfire built from git master branch a few days ago.
This problem doesn't happen with other wallpaper tools like swaybg.
I don't know if the PR in this issue fixes this problem.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the blurry wallpaper with wf-shell 0.10.0, Wayfire from git master, fractional scaling, and a switch to another TTY or graphical session. Compare the result with swaybg and review PR #499 to determine whether it addresses the same behavior; done means the wallpaper remains sharp after returning to the Wayfire session.
