The good thing with the virtual desktops is that they let you organize
the applications displayed according to the particular task you are
actually managing.

Is it possible in Gnome to display on the background of each different
virtual desktop a different set of icons?

That is, is it possible in Gnome to choose for each virtual desktop a
different dir to display in the desktop background containing files
related to the particular task the desktop is dedicated?

None of them is possible.

One can get a wallpaper per workspace using one of the tools listed at
<http://live.gnome.org/PowerUserTools>. I have not tried it; it's what
google gives me when I search for "background per workspace gnome".

I meant not simply to display a different background image, but
different icons as well on each virtual desktop.
I heard it was possible on SGI-Irix, so I wondered if it was possible
in Gnome too.

Anyway thanks for the replies.

Cheers!
