GNOME doesn't handle virtual root windows (2., 3., ... desktop)

E 0.16.7 has a feature that makes things seem to work, try:
$ eesh -e "hints xroot root"
Well, that solved my problem :) I'm not using gnome, though, just
e. How come e doesn't do this by default? Oh, and will i have to run
this from my .xinitrc, or will e remember this setting?
Maybe because its new. There were still some problems on my machine.
I have two "multiple desktops" - labelled 1, 2 here for convenience and am
using transparent backgrounds on
Eterm and gdesklets. With the root hints mentioned above, both picked up
the proper backgrounds upon switching
to a different desktop - great! But
Enlightenment (0.16.7.1-1)
gdesklets: Failed to persist on either desktop.
Eterm (0.9.2-4): Failed to persist on desktop 1.
i.e. failing to persist equates to the background dropping back to a blank
background (pale blue for gdesklets and black for Eterm) after
about 20 seconds. After failing if you switched desktops and came back
again it would redraw with the background but then fail to
persist after another 20 seconds.
Hope this helps,
Daniel.
