Navigate to "System > Administration > Software Sources". Enable all
repositories but 'proposed' and 'backports'.

Then run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gconf-editor compizconfig-settings-manager

Navigate to "System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings"

Under "General Options" set "Horizontal Virtual Size" to 4.
Under "Desktop Cube > Appearance tab" put 4 wallpapers.

Now, press Alt+F2 > type 'gconf-editor' > hit Enter.
Navigate to "apps > nautilus > preferences" and uncheck "Show Desktop".

Is it possible to do this with the desktop wall plugin?

[northern lights]

No it isn't. Unfortunately, the Desktop Wall plugin has no option to set background images.

However, the Cube supports more than 4 viewports. Just not in vertical displacement. You can set 'vertical virtual size' to more than '1', but it will ignore it. Nonetheless, horizontally it can be stretched virtually infinitely (correct me if I'm wrong - just tried 6).

Just out of interest, has anyone found this buggy?

[northern lights]

nope.

[Helios1276]

nope.

I'm not knocking it , just seem to have experienced some slight graphical glitches since implementing .

This functionality should be coming to gnome very soon (perhaps 2.24?) This is currently being worked upon by one of the Summer of Code students. He has made good progress and even has a video demonstration of it on his blog, here: http://gsocblog.jsharpe.net/archives/15

Now that we (almost) have multiple wallpapers for the desktop, I'm only missing having different icons on different desktops

I got the impression that would not function with Compiz.
