I did find this on docs.dke.org, but it doesn't help:
> The desktop background, more commonly known as the wallpaper, allows you to display certain images on your desktop. The settings for the background are found in the KDE Control Center, or by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Configure Desktop....

You can also choose whether to use a single background on all virtual desktops or to apply a different background for each desktop. This is done by selecting All desktops or the specific desktop name from the drop-down menu.

I get "Appearance Settings", but no "Configure Desktop".
Drilling down from "Appearance Settings" doesn't get
me to anything that will change just one background.
