hmmm... I may not quite have been clear... I'm getting older and, 
methinks, a little absentminded. I'd like to have different backgrounds 
on the different workspaces. I find it helpful to remember where I am 
and what I'm doing there. The last time I tried LINUX this was a 
possibility, but with all the improvements these days that ability seems 
to have gone away.
