Public bug reported:

In the `Settings -> Ubuntu Desktop`, you will notice that `Enhanced
Tiling` has a toggle switch to enable/disable the `Enhanced Tiling`
feature. However, such a toggle switch is missing for the `Desktop
Icons` and the `Dock`. Especially for `Desktop Icons`, it is inefficient
planning to make a user call up another app/extension called `Extension
Manager` to toggle `Desktop Icon NG (DING)` so as to enable/disable the
appearance of icons in the Desktop.

This latter process is also non-intuitive; its causes users to have to
search around for such a feature. Most users would just search within
`Settings` to achieve this and would not know that they have to call up
a non-Gnome or non_Ubuntu extension to activate such a simple and
commonly used feature.

I hope such a fix can be implemented for `Settings` in Gnome >=46 and
for Ubuntu 24.04.

Previously, I had reported this issue to Gnome-Settings,
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/3527, and
was informed that Ubuntu's package maintainer has to resolve this issue.
