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 again the 'picture folder' option, everything is gone.
At my version of Precise it does point to the /home/username> folder though.. which is not correct either…. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968268 Title: Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/968268/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
