Bug Description

The example used here are the default background folders in Ubuntu.
Already monitored but not checked as recursive /usr/share/backgrounds

There are two subdirectories of /usr/share/backgrounds which are contest and cosmos. When trying to add one of those directories to be used with Cortina, I get the error:

"/usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos is already monitored through /usr/share/backgrounds!"

So there is no unhandled exception... I already thought about that so I implemented an error message for that. By the way there is no sense to something like this.

The sense would be if someone wanted the images in /usr/share/backgrounds and /user/share/backgrounds/cosmos but did NOT want the images in /usr/share/backgrounds/contest to be used.

If you wanted all of them you would just check the box for recursive. :)
