lightdm lacks ability to store pictures which arn't in /pictures

[marco dahms]

When adding a picture from lets say /Desktop to your wallpaper preferences it is displayed as your wallpaper. Unfortunately if you log out your wallpaper isn't used by the "automatic wallpaper switcher" of lightdm. the picture has to lay in you /Pictures directory.
