Hi Anne
How to do this?  If I right-click on the desktop and select "Desktop
Settings" it appears that I can only choose one image for all desktops.
 This functionality of having an image for each desktop from KDE 3.x is the
only thing that I (really!!!) miss in KDE 4.x.  I really do think that KDE 4
is now much superiour to KDE 3 excepting the (perhaps minor issue for the
KDE devs) of having multiple desktop images to match the prefered
use/purpose for that desktop.  No other element in KDE 4 makes me wish to
regress back to the previous system (except the use of "kyum" which upon
installation pulls in many elements from KDE 3...)
Has kyum been ported to KDE 4?  How to enable selecting an image for each
desktop configured?
/fennix
PS:  I think that it would be better stated that there are 2 issues for me:
 (1) Enabling selecting a "unique" image for each of my desktops.  (2)
 Installing kyum for upgrading my current Fedora installation without
pulling in many elements/libraries of KDE3 to support this application.
I know that I should post this to the KDE.org/brainstorm link you had posted
previously...but I feel that if this is a majour issue then many must have
already complained before now so if no-one has said much then these are not
majour issues to the general KDE community...  (Running KDE 4.3.00
currently...)
