This could more profitably be asked on the wm-users list, perhaps,
but oh well. I haven't been able to find out how to make windowmaker
do different backgrounds or themes for different workspaces. How is
this done? I'd love to be able to do that that.

And will gnome-terminal still do the right thing if I am switching
transparent gnome-terminals between workspaces with different
backgrounds? Or will it keep the colour from the original background
it was opened on? (Strange question, I know, but if I alter the
background colour, I have to jiggle gnome-terms about for them
to notice.)

If it's somewhere blindingly obvious in the windowmaker documentation, 
apologies in advance. But I didn't find it. I did look. Honest :)
