Those users you talk of will hardly make use of a second virtual desktop let
alone a grid of 6 or 9 VD. So, if the second desktop would be stuck on an old
picture from some years ago, I'm sure, they'll not notice.

It seems, M$ will soon show us how different backgrounds per virtual desktop is
done:
"So far, the problem is that each additional desktop has the same background
image as the main desktop. This makes the distinction unnecessarily difficult.
Microsoft now has individual wallpapers in the works for Windows 10 21H2."

Reminds me of when James Bond replies to the question, of how he knows about
that top-secret technology: "I read it in the Russian translation of the
manual!"

Are you aware of the "virtual desktop raster" that kicks in via Ctrl+F8. It can
also be attached to engage on the mouse moving into an "active corner". It will
show a fullscreen desktop-switcher with neat little window previews distributed
all over the place. Besides, the background also shows nicely, so that each
desktop gets it's identity - if only it would have one!
