Description
If I go to Desktop settings > Get new wallpaper > I "install" a wallpaper I like, but then I cannot find it in the list of available wallpapers...
If I download a wallpaper, it's that I intend to use it / try it. but I cannot even find the wallpaper I just installed!

I found one in:
~/.local/share/wallpapers
(plasma 5)
others claim that they may be at:
~/.kde/share/wallpapers/
(KDE4)
or again in KDE4, see userswallpapers in:
~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc

Urgh!
Installing new wallpapers is a hit or miss process.
For some wallpapers, the 'get new wallpapers' widget offers a choice and it is double-plus-unclear what choice is actually being offered.
Checking the content of ~/.local/share/wallpapers each time I "install" a new wallpaper is highly instructive. Installing some wallpapers create a 2 byte long file!!

The whole "Get new wallpaper" application seems to be broken.
