what would the adhesive do attaching the cleat to drywall? the paper isn't
very strong, and that's all you're gluing to.


Have you ever tried to suck the paper off the wall before? ;~)

The strength would be in the huge adhesion area and while not sufficient by
itself would add considerable stability to other fasteners. I have seen
large pictures hung on those removable 3M adhesive hook strips and those do
not cover much area by comparison.
