Ahmad, kdebase4 is patched is the solution.
Yes it has a interesting layout of dirs, but as i recall, if you just
drop an image in /usr/share/wallpapers it shows up in the plasma
dialogue.

And even if it is set up to use default.jpg as default, it still
misses all of the other bg's in the folder and all of the extra
backgrounds.
