For some reason I'm having trouble describing what I'd like to find. I want a wall, set up in a grid of rectangles or squared, like graph paper. I'd like to be able to pop a picture or a texture image into each rectangle at will, and pop new one in over the old ones when I wanted to. I don't want them to cycle, or morph, or be slide shows. I just want an alternative to taking hours setting up picture frames in careful rows up on a wall, getting them all sized right and aligned to the wall... can anyone point me to something like this?

I made something similar to what you're describing when I first started I think. I just made a bunch of different sized rectangles, joined them together and popped in whatever texture or photo I wanted into whichever rectangle I wanted it in. It made a great collage for my City of Heroes pictures. You should also be able to do the same with framed pictures, just make the rectangle, frame it, join it, move it to a location, then repeat, and once they're all set up how you want them, just join them all. When you want to change a picture, just move the texture from your inventory with your cursor over to the rectangle you want it in, make sure the right area highlights and drop it in.
With luck, below is a picture of what I'm talking about.

Thought of an alternative if you want to save prims and can use a paint/photo editor program. A good free one is GIMP. Save your pictures to your hard drive, open GIMP or preferred program, then open a picture as a layer. Size the picture smaller and place it, then anchor it. Then open another picture as another layer, and place that and anchor it. Continue until you have what you want, then save the whole thing as one layer and import it to SL. The downfall to doing it this way is that you can't change individual pictures inside SL.
An example of this method is below
