Stan, Look inside of the "Appearance" window you already found. Then then there is a field called 'Picture" on the right side there is a floppy image. Click on that and select your own image from any directory you want. Then press Apply. BTW the picture will be now on the list that you can see pressing the button just right to "Picture"
One that has me stumped me is how to change the background (wallpaper)on the desktop. preferably separately for each of the multiple desktops
This is a little more complicated. First it does not work if you are using the 3D desktop (compiz-fusion). Here you have to use 'Activities" this is more than a desktop but this is out of the topic (BTW is it the closest of any present OS to the WPS) Here it goes: 1. Click the cashew on the right upper corner and <zoom out>. If you do not have the cashew read the bottom of this message) 2. Add an activity 3. Then go to the top of the activity (focus) you add it and righ mouse, desktop settings and change the background the same as you did before 4. Now you have 2 different desktops so zoom in: just go to the tab at the bottom of one of the activities and click on the (+) sign. 5. Now go the cashew on the righ upper corner and select Configure plasma. There checked <different activities for each desktop> 6. Press Cashew and Shortcut setting tell you the key to press to move from one activity to the next one. Important Note: if in one of the activities you do not find the cashew (aka toolkit) just right mouse/desktop setting then click on "Type" and there select Desktop (versus Plain desktop). Plain desktop does not include the toolkit. Stan I use compiz-fusion where activites worked but the "Configure Plama " mess everything up, besides using compiz I do not need different backgrounds any way.
