Desktop "Change Picture" grayed out

Before installing Tiger I was able to select "Change Picture" in System Preferences Desktop. Now that feature is grayed out, and a single picture is continuously display on the desktop. Any idea how to fix this?

g4, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I tried it with a completely new installation of 10.4.6 and it's the same. It seems to be a new standard setting in this version.

I remember to have the "Change Picture" option used in a lower version. But is was already a 10.4-version. So I think that this not a Tiger-bug.

Plist changing, rights-repairing etc. didn't work for me. Selecting the iPhoto-folder is a good workaround but it's not a solution in my opinion.
