Currently, KDE has lots of very pretty and polished wallpapers, and that's very nice. However, on Kubuntu, they're all stored in /usr/share/wallpapers, and this is the only path searched for system wallpapers. It would be nice, for example, if KDE could find and display the default Ubuntu wallpapers as well, or wallpapers for Gnome/XFCE/whatever else. They all seem to store their wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds.

In fact, one better - maybe a button with a spanner, next to the, "pick file" button for, "advanced" desktop wallpaper options, that includes default folders to scan for wallpaper images. This would let me use images in, for example, /usr/share/backgrounds, /usr/share/wallpapers and ~/Pictures/Wallpapers as wallpapers.

Definitely! I can see users who are switching to KDE from some other DE wondering "now where is that wallpaper? It was part of the defaults in my old DE."
