You can vary the number of virtual desktops relative to the number of multiple desktops. Since each of the multiple desktops can have a different background, you should be able to find a happy medium (depending on machine horsepower/performance issues). For example, I think the default is 2 desktops with 4 virtuals each. I ended up sticking with 3 multipl/4 virtual for a while. Then when I wanted more than 3 different backgrounds, I added 3 more desktops and dropped the number of virtuals to 2. This gives the same total of 12 desktops, but with 6 different backgrounds instead of 3. I didn't notice any performance differences really, except for twice as many swishy sounds when you login to the default theme.
