@webknjaz sounds reasonable, thanks. Just one language nitpick for you to look at.

Description
SSIA. The doc only mentions the UI-driven way of setting the reduced motion preference. This patch extends that with an equivalent entry to what's present under the GTK recommendations.
Motivation
When on Linux, it's typical that some programs would use GTK while others will use Qt. And so it's reasonable to configure it for each of the frameworks together, not just your main one.
This info isn't really available in one place and requires research.
Many people automate their system configuration, which typically means modifying files to set up things in automated fashion. Clicking on the UI interfaces isn't really compatible with that. So I googled and experimented a bit.
