this is my understanding of it: X is only a display, and has no virtual desktops. its just a grey screen with an X cursor, which basically does nothing. it just allows you to run other apps within it. blackbox is the app. or any other window manager. they control the windows, but they dont really "control" the background. they just set an image or pattern to X's root window. to have different wallpapers in each workspace, you would have to re-set it each time you change a workspace. of course this is possible, but it would be horribly slow and you would quickly realize that it is not something you want to do. so in theory i suppose you could code something up to do it, but its not something you'd want to do :P __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
