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 a
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.

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 will
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

have to put then in ~/pictures? and what happens If I have dozens? and like to

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" ...

Title:
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', a
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.

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
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 o
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"

Ryan, would you be interested to have a look? That's a side effect of
your "don't copy local images" patch
