I have discovered that with compositing (3D effects) turned on, I can
see the wallpaper and icons on desktop 1 but the others are just plain

desktops but the icons are only shown on desktop 1. This is in Ubuntu
9.04.

changing the number of desktops. I know that Compiz has some hacks to
work with GNOME.

** Description changed:
I've got Kwin set as my window manager in GNOME (I prefer it to Metacity
and Compiz). This is set in the Session Manager (System Preferences
Sessions), where I add an item that executes kwin --replace
