Title:
Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder'

Incredible that after 4 years, Ubuntu can't properly handle custom
desktop wallpapers - a feature that Windows had in 1994. Must be
another one of Shuttleworth's tea party conspiracies...

Is this expected to be solved, still, at some point in time? Or should I
not expect any developments on this issue?

I've got exactly the same thing; adding picture(s) in the drop down 'Pictures
folder' item, only lasts as long as you have that screen open. If you close the
window / backgrounds option and you right click on your desktop to reopen it;
wallpapers appear ok.
When clicking on 'wallpapers' to get
The South African Ubuntu community came up with the solution in quick
time - simply find the images that you want to remove in your Home
folder and delete them there, then add the ones that you want to remain
in the desktop background pics folder to your Home folder. Presto!
Problem solved.

What makes it even more weird, is that the the picture that I would
prefer to delete remains in the folder, but the others that I want to
stay there disappear every time when I close the folder.

Previously I had been battling to insert pictures in the pictures folder
and to keep them there for future use, now when I put a picture in
there, I cannot remove it afterwards. Sounds weird, but that's the
truth.

So there must be a right and a wrong way to add pictures to the pictures
folder, and I must have inadvertently picked the right way for the pic
that I do not want there and the wrong way for those that I want to stay
there. Now the problem is that the wrong one won't go away and the right
ones
So, If I want to have several wallpapers to choose from gnome-control -center I
have to put then in ~/pictures? and what happens If I have dozens? and like to
put them in subfolders. Is there any way in which the UI shows to me images
files within subfolders?
It seems to me tha there is no
Is this the same bug?
Here is what I am doing:
Right-click on desktop select Change Desktop Background under the
Look tab select Wallpapers from the drop-down menu click on the
+ button to add new wallpapers to the selection browse to the
wallpaper and click open ...
What happens then is
@Sep: there is one, it's the Images (or equivalent translation for
your locale) directory in your user dir

I don't get it.
So there isn't actually a folder which contains the pictures that are in
the Pictures Folder from the drop down menu? In my case there is a
picutre that seems to be stuck in the Pictures Folder forever: it is
some old background that I had. No Idea how it got in the 'folder', and
Ryan, we discussed similar issues but not exactly this one, with this
bug the currently selected wallpaper is showing nowhere in gnome-
control-center, what happens is:
- when you use the add button to select a wallpaper the ui change to picture
folder with the wallpaper you picked listed and
Running 12.04 with the new Unity Greeter that shows your wallpaper on
the login screen.
Something else to think about with all this is that if the Pictures
Folder really means ~/Pictures then when you have an encrypted home
directory, these pictures will not appear at the login screen.
Likewise
Ryan, would you be interested to have a look? That's a side effect of

Added two lines to the bug description from my duplicate bug to this one
about the '-' button.
** Description changed:
I successfully added a wallpaper from a subfolder of ~/Pictures to the
Pictures Folder using the little + button. The wallpaper changed,

Seb: we discussed this on IRC a few weeks ago and I mentioned that this
is a known and intended side effect.
Also note that the wallpaper is never really added to the pictures
folder -- just to a cache directory that appears under Pictures Folder
in the UI (which is a bit of a lie, imho).
It is
Having a +/- button suggests that I can add and remove images, when I
can't. I'm no design/usability guy, but that really sounds wrong to me.
Also, having an image group called Pictures Folder suggests, that it
has anything to do with ~/Pictures when it doesn't seem to.
Then there are those
