If you install KDE4.4 you will be pleased to know that you are now able to set *each* desktop to have its *own individual* Wallpaper! 8-) . Waahoo!
That's the *good* 'noos'.
The *bad* 'noos' is that it will take you to first attain a University degree with a major in non-creative thinking* *- otherwise known as *"fuzzy thinking"* - to be able to achieve this :-( .
DON"T attempt to do this unless you first practice on some test setup....
I have now miraculously achieved this feat 3 times (on my 6x KDE 4.4 (nee 4.3) Desktops) but I still do not quite know how I achieved this :-( .
(The whole is supposed to be quite "intuitive" - but typically only for those who bloody-well know what they are doing!
If you don't, then simply stick with KDE4.3 or earlier.)
Basil, please please write in detail about your experience, including what you tired, what didn't work, and what could be improved. With your input this situation could be improved for KDE 4.5. Thanks.
Dotan, Let me start my 'tomorrow's' (which is now actually 'today's' :-) ) report on the topic by stating that just a few minutes ago there was a power failure in my suburb. The computer went down. As a result, I lost the settings for the Desktops which I spoke about in the earlier post(s). Have to start again to get the settings I set hours ago :'( . Nice. Very nice - *NOT*! And I always believed that one did not have to reboot a Linux distro - like Windows needs to be - in order to retain any (altered settings). Come to think of it, when one runs zypper and it updates/upgrades your s/ware it almost always 'tells' you that there are running apps which you may want to restart, and to use 'ps' to see what they are. Isn't that the same as stating, "Reboot system" for the changes to come into effect?
