Different Wallpaper for Each Workspace?

[madmax.santana]

I am using Ubuntu 8.10...

Is there a way to keep a separate wallpaper for each workspace???

The only way I know is to do it via compiz. Open CCSM and go to Wallpapers and select your wallpapers, then press ALT+F2 and execute "gconf-editor", go to apps-nautilus-preferences and uncheck the "show_desktop" option.

This will disable icons on your desktop though.

If you don't have CCSM install it with (in a terminal):

$ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

To summon it, press Alt+F2 and run: "ccsm"

Nah... The desktop icons tradeoff is not acceptable...

Any other solution?

Would it be acceptable if you simply changed the way you access those shortcuts? I might suggest using a drawer or similar menu device for keeping your "desktop" shortcuts.

hmm this would be something nice to have added to the desktop...but as far as i know...no you can not do so

(u can do what the one guy said..but other than that..no it wont work)

I found this thread through a search for "disable icons". It has proven useful to me.

Now I wonder: How do I remove all the icons on the XFCE desktop?
