To change the default list of images(for all users) that shows up when running
the gnome-background-properties program, you need to edit the XML file:
/usr/share/gnome-wallpaper-properties/desktop-backgrounds-basic.xml
Better yet though, especially if you are just adding ADDITIONAL images,
is to create your own XML file(s) for each image collection. All you need
to do is to create an XML file of any name describing your new images
and put it into the /usr/share/gnome-wallpaper-properties/
$ rpm -ql desktop-backgrounds-basic|grep xml
/usr/share/gnome-wallpaper-properties/desktop-backgrounds-basic.xml
$ rpm -ql desktop-backgrounds-extra|grep xml
(nothing)
Explains why the "extras" backgrounds have to be added via the Add
Wallpaper button of Desktop Background Preferences.
