OK, let's consider this for a moment:
a) getting a desktop changed notify is simple (bbpager already gets it)
b) setting the root window is also fairly trivial
so
the bb app in question should be like a super bsetroot. It should generate the
pixmaps to be placed on root at initialization, then change the root as
desktop switches occur. Having already generated the pixmaps, the switching is
actually pretty easy and fast.
