Title:
  Settings -> Ubuntu Desktop: Toggle switch for the Desktop Icons and
  the Dock are missing

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
