Re: Window Manager configuration utilities

[Nathan Clemons <nathan windsofstorm net>]

I disagree. For those window managers which implement virtual desktops as
different screens :0.0, :0.1, etc. their config tool could have a method
to set backgrounds based on the workspace. I do not believe GNOME has this
functionality, and it should be left to the WM config tool to handle. And
considering that background images are set by a majority of themes, I
think this is the easiest way.
