I use 4 desktops and started playing with Compiz, how can I get each desktop to have it's own wallpaper?

Read through one guide on here and it didn't work for my setup, tried google but not satisfied with answers there.

Thank you.

Using the guide below this, I can't see anyway to set up the wallpapers, only the caps on the cube.
To have different wallpapers for each desktop, follow these steps:

I. Disable "show desktop" in Nautilus
1. ALT+F2
2. gconf-editor
3. Apps --> Nautilus --> Preferences
4. Untick "show desktop"

II. Install Compiz Fusion
1. In Terminal, input the following:
Code:
sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
2. Exit Terminal

III. Select your desktop wallpaper
1. System --> Preferences --> Advanced Desktop Settings
2. Tick "Desktop Cube" and opt to disable desktop wall if prompted
3. Tick "Rotate Cube"
4. Select "Desktop Cube"
5. Click "Appearance" tab
6. Click "Add" under the "Background Images" field
7. Browse for your desired wallpaper(s), ordering them based on which face of the cube you want them to appear

This is a good question, and some thing I have woundered my self. I was doing this under windows with ydom3d running.

i just got it setup now.....go to CCSM and choose wallpaper. Enable that and choose what wallpapers you want. Included a screen shot to show you.

Ok I went to CCSM and enabled the wallpaper thing added 4 different wall papers and this did not work. How did you add the wallpaper, and make them work for each desktop.

Thanks.
