--- Comment #418 from Dngrsone <dngrs...@gmail.com> --- THe desktop wallpaper /might/ be hidden. But for me it is usually not. I have four Virtual desktops, each with its own set of shortcuts and widgets. Unfortunately, FIrefox, for some reason will always show the same icon, regardless, so when I am switching VIrtual desktops, I can't tell immediately /which/ FIrefox profile/instance is open on that desktop. It is faster to identify a wallpaper instead of looking at the patter of tiny shortcut icons. If I have different wallpapers, I immediately know "this is my photo editing desktop" or "this is my writing desktop". Is it stupid? Maybe to you. Is it extra work? It isn't work for me, though it would be nice if things worked out of the box instead of me having to do elaborate semi-effective workarounds for something that used to work just fine. What would be really nice if Desktop Cube worked for the virtual desktops too. Yes, it's so 1990's to have a process-burning graphic toy, but just like I prefer roses in my front yard, I like playing with the fancy toy.
