Comment (by miqlas):

 I found the Background preflet strange even in the BeOS time. The dropdown
 menu is not efficient at all, but it is compact, thats true. I however
 like that it stores only the recently opened files, and it keeps it till
 the user closes it.
 Prepopulating could helt the user to find/explore the artwork folders, but
 it would break/interfere with the idea i described earlier. Something must
 be changed, but prepopulating not necessarily the best idea.
