Release: Kubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Beta 1
Observed: When going into the Desktop Settings of a brand-new installation, I find the current wallpaper listed along with an odd blank entry; no preview, just "1920x1200". A screenshot is attached. Clicking on this mysterious entry makes it disappear, as does moving focus to it by keyboard. The Apply button is enabled when this entry is selected, but clicking it changes nothing (except by taking focus away from the blank entry and so making it visible again!)
If I then install another wallpaper (from Get New Wallpapers..., other methods haven't been tested), it too appears blank, with nothing but a name, and vanishes if I select it. However, if I click Apply while it's selected, it does become the new background. And if I close Desktop Settings and return to it, the new wallpaper's preview and details are now filled in. (The blank entry persists, however.)

Hi, thank you for taking your time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better.
This should be caused by a symlink to the kde default wallpaper that isn't shown properly. It should be either hidden or removed in the next release.
