I do not have this problem (but see next paragraph).  In the control
center I have the ``wallpaper'' set to ``none'' in the ``background''
subitem of the ``desktop'' item.  I have 5 desktops set in E and each
gets its own background (backgrounds set via the ``desktop background
settings'' item in the ``settings'' menu.

HOWEVER, if I run nautilus and in its preferences (``windows $
desktop'') I chose ``Use Nautilus to draw the desktop'', the E
backgrounds are hidden and the same background is used for all
desktops.  Is this perhaps your problem?

I filed a request for gnome itself to permit distinct a background for
each desktop.  Perhaps this will be possible in gnome 2.
