Don't those buttons just make soft links to an existing image in some
directory when "add"ed and delete them when "remove"d? I would think
nothing changes.

When the user selects a wallpaper the original image is copied over the
~.gnome/background/current file and displayed from there. The only issue
I see is if the user would expect "remove" to clear the current
wallpaper from the desktop.

You could compare the original file that the link being deleted is
pointing to  ~.gnome/background/current and unlink
~.gnome/background/current if it is the same file. Personally I don't
think that would be worth the effort.
