"Pictures folder" in gnome-control-center's appearance preferences does not display pictures from appropriate location.

[Tom Dignan]

In the latest ubuntu stable, 12.10, unity desktop:

1. Put some JPG files in $HOME.
2. Right click on the desktop->change desktop background.
3. Select "Pictures Folder" in the spinner.
4. Find that pictures from the "Pictures Folder" are actually JPG files that you put in $HOME.
5. Put some JPG files in $HOME/Pictures
6. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
7. See that none of the pictures you put in the actual $HOME/Pictures directory are
available under the "Pictures" folder.

I would like to write this patch myself, as I think it would be an easy fix. That is of course if I haven't made a complete oversight and this is indeed a bug. If it is, I'll attribute it to people wanting to work on more interesting things than fixing a wallpaper chooser.

If anyone could confirm this bug for me, that would be great. Later tonight I will compile unity and try to make some changes.

Works for me using gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu11~ubuntu12.10.1 and gnome-control-center-unity 1.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.10.1(from gnome3 ppa). Did not test with the standard ubuntu packages, they may still be broken.

That's great news.
