I saved an image to my desktop (it was the django pony wallpaper (http://www.djangopony.com/)). I then set this as the desktop wallpaper by right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Change Desktop Wallpaper". A while later (today), I wanted to clean up my desktop and right clicked on the image, and selected "Delete". A popup warned me that this would remove the image. I clicked OK and the image disappeared. However my desktop wallpaper changed immediatly to a dull brown colour.

Obviously there is only one copy of the image stored when you set something as the wallpaper, however I thought it was otherwise. I'd suggest that when someone sets something as the wallpaper, it stores a copy of that image somewhere else to prevent things like this from happening.
