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.
