Thank you for pointing that out. I did figure out before posting my 
question, that I CAN get my pictures from elsewhere, but ...
in my original post I also wrote:
"I would love to have the option (apparently not available) to CHOOSE 
the default folder for my wallpapers. If that is not possible, I would 
like at least to be able to copy a
little something into the default folder."
The reasons for my personal preferences are not really of any concern here.

On the Ubuntu website one of the first things you see, is:

http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features
"Your Ubuntu, your way
Enjoy the simplicity of Ubuntu's stylish, intuitive interface. Ubuntu 
gives you a clean and streamlined experience that you can really make 
your own."

I SIMPLY (simplicity!) asked how to do one little thing MY way. Just as 
the site suggests I CAN do.

Since this is not about technical matters any more, I would prefer, with 
your permission, not to pursue the subject any further.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
