Alright, how in thunder did you do it in 4.3?!!
1. Go to the cashew in the upper right. Select "Zoom Out". 2. Choose "Configure Plasma" from the menu that is presented. 3. Check "Different activity for each desktop" and the "OK" 4. You should see a magnifying glass with a + inside at the base of a desktop. Click it to "Zoom In". 5.

I don't quite get your point.... The question was.... "How do I get a different wallpaper on each desktop". I have told the asking party how to do it based on the naming conventions used in KDE 4.3. Now, maybe after doing the above you are saying you no longer have 4 desktops but 4 activities? No matter what the names are one gets what they want in the end. -- I know the answer!

I didn't think I had.... But, if I did I didn't mean to suggest that.... Yet, what is currently confusing is that you can have multiple activities on a single desktop and/or you can have a different activity for each desktop. You can configure your mouse wheel to switch desktops or switch activities.

Peter, to whom are you really replying and therefore to whom are you addressing your question? You seem to be replying to me, but asking (?) Dotan about "getting ...... from basil...". You are using (from your Header information): KMail/1.11.90 (Linux/2.6.30-rc6-git3-4-default; KDE/4.2.86; x86_64; ; ) but there is no mention of which Character Encoding you are using for your incoming/outgoing messages. So, the bottom line is: what "hieroglyphics" are you speaking of?
