+1 !!

As the user doesnt see the buttons underneath the keyboard anyways, I am 
all for the option to select a wallpaper, and its selected and applied 
directly (even seen in the background changing). If the user wants 
another wallpaper, he just taps on it. If he finished his configuration, 
he closes the dialog (maybe also by just taping in the background, 
outside the dialog window? Do we really need a close Button/Icon?)

This is why I am not happy with adding even more apply/save/cancel 
buttons to new dialogs, like the one for the password. If we think about 
a new interaction principle, we should apply it right away with every 
new feature we develop.
