    They are in usr/share/backgrounds. You need root access to move anything to his folder so when you are ready, do:
    Code:
    gksu nautilus

    I have done the following commands:
    sudo su
    gksu nautilus usr/share/backgrounds

    then added new pictures into the folder and closed terminal
    and
    didn't find them among those wallpapers which are changing randomly

    where is the option for randomly changing the pictures? i can't find it.

    EDIT:

    oh wait, is it that one with the clock that says "randomly changes throughout the day"? i thought that was changing the individual picture..
