In the Desktop Pref pane, Apple has some predefined list items for picturess, such as "Nature," "Abstract", etc. I wanted to add my own collections, such as "Space." To do this just follow the directions below.
[Editor's notes: If you don't use Plist Editor to make these changes, make sure you use true spaces only, not tab characters. When I tried with tab characters for the indent, the pane failed to open. Also watch the trailing "," if you add your own collection below the last item -- you'll want to add the comma to the previous item so that your new entries are read. Also, you must quit and restart the System Prefs application for your changes to take effect ... and finally, you may wish to make a backup (sudo cp Collections.plist Collections.bak) before you start editing this file.]
