Nothing I could find in Ubuntu Tweak, but I found them in my home folder where I could delete them and I could also copy the images that I want in the pics folder to my home folder from where they autmatically show in the pics folder for the desktop background. Makes me proud of our SA Ubuntu Community and makes me wonder why the International community was unable to come up with this simple and logical solution. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72"> </pre> On 11/09/2013 21:43, Frans de waal wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CAALHhb-cAHhMeX+ixeQutsMaZ9WmEe+29maL-X18dN191Rin3w@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> On Sep 11, 2013 8:15 PM, "Jan Greeff" <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:jan@verslank.net">jan@verslank.net</a>> wrote: > > Hi Frans, > > It will be great if there is a workaround. > > As I mentioned, I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
