Appearance settings pictures folder doesn't retain added wallpapers

[Dave Vree]

Running 12.04 RC on 32 bit system with Unity 3D. From within "Appearance Settings", I go to the dropdown combobox and select "Pictures Folder". I then click on the "+" button to add wallpapers I have stored elsewhere on my hard drive. They show up, I can select them and everything works fine.

If I close the dialog and go back into it, then they are not there...the "Pictures Folder" list is empty. This may have to do with the fact that I long ago deleted the folder "Pictures" in my home directory. In any event, the current behavior is confusing at best.

Thank you for your bug report

Ryan, would you be interested to have a look? That's a side effect of your "don't copy local images" patch
