Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
-Open Login Window
-change background
-restart

Somehow, it doesn't 'want' to look into /home/user/Pictures/Wallpapers.
If I put my wallpaper in /usr/share/backgrounds and /usr/share/backgrounds/budgie, and use Login Window to select it, it works. Maybe it has no permission?
I only have this issue when I used a fresh install of 21.10 and not upgraded from any older version, if that helps.
I am using Ubuntu Budgie 21.10.

That is expected. In 21.10 home folder permissions have been tightened up to prevent other user accounts accessing each others stuff.

Upgraders still have the older "all access" home folder permissions
