not my cuppa tea, I'm to busy trying to learn to like kde4.xxx since 
it will be replacing a horribly usable, intuitive and functional 
kde3.xxx soon X-(


There are hacks you could use such as creating a folder named 
desktop(#x), open that folder using view icons with konqueror on 
your selected
(#x)virtual desktop, turn off the toolbars and menu's, then setting 
the window preference to "behind all", "fullscreen", "no border". 
You could set up a profile for each workspace in konq if you wanted 
to as well. (or just save the session when you log out)

Terribly hackish I know but it would come very close to what you 
describe without having to set up another user.

in kde4 yoiu could achieve the same effect very simply using folder 
views, (only 1 wallpaper though

I think the term I was looking for is "Activities" I believe this 
will be implemented something like folderview but really have not 
paid that much attention.
