OK, let me - and others - know how you have achieved this? A different wallpaper on each of the six desktops, right? Using 11.1 or 11.2 and KDE4.3, right? And using the 32-bit version of 11.1 or 11.2, right?
x86_64, 11.2/m6
But Clayton has accruately presented the avenue, just follow the steps he presented.
He accurately presented the (totally undocumented, completely obscure) "avenue" and hand waived the problem away.
Follow Clayton's methods and create four activities for your four desktops.
Come back and tell us how many activities exit after a week of working on the machine. Go ahead, zoom out, and explain why and where those extra activities came from, and how to get rid of them.
And explain how some random activity from among those extra mystery activities somehow takes over one of your four desktops upon the slightest whim. And explain how to get it back the way it was.
For the rest of us, who only wanted different wallpaper on our four or six desktops, this is a wrestling match that don't want. I can just launch a calculator on the desktop I want it to appear on. It stays there. Its there when I reboot. I don't have to reconfigure it every three days.
There is only one reliable way to hold this mess together in 4.3, and that is to make copies of every thing that begins with the word "plasma" in your .kde/share/config directory against the day (very soon) that your desktop goes wonky again.
John, see my response to Clayton. There is another step one has to go thru which will create a desktop equivalent (well....) to what one had in KDE3. I haven't yet tried to emulate what you talk about above but from what I have done I am not having disasters. My only complaint so far is that the configuration to auto-hide the taskbar/taskmanager will not "stick" and the damn 'bar comes back visible after a reboot.
