Description timmr72 2014-01-04 18:19:16 UTC 
So, I was fooling around with other ways to change my background in Gnome 3.10 (the Background changing app in settings seems rather crippled/limited).

Anyways, I selected a picture in "~/Pictures/Vacation". I right clicked on the picture and chose "Set as Wallpaper". This set the wallpaper fine, but I also noticed it created a folder called "Wallpapers" under my "Pictures" folder and also dropped a copy of the file I chose as the wallpaper there. 

This was fine. I changed my wallpaper a few more times and watched as the files started to show up in the "Pictures/Wallpaper" folder. However, if I decide to browse this "Pictures/Wallpapers" folder with Nautilus and then choose "Set as Wallpaper" on any of the files that have been copied here already...I get a duplicate copy of the file.

Thanks,
Tim
