In kcontrol (wrongly aka system settings), workspace appearance and behavior, workspace behavior, there's an applet virtual desktops. This applet has two tabs. On the default, desktops tab, there's a layout section, with a checkbox entitled "Different widgets for each desktop" (This is the kde 4.5+ location. 4.4 and earlier have a different kcontrol layout.) Checking that and hitting apply should do the trick. That will give you a different activity for each virtual desktop, locking the two concepts, activities and virtual desktops, together. Not only the wallpaper and/or background color will be affected, but also any other widgets (plasmoids) you place on the activity, so you'll get different plasmoids for each activity/desktop as well. Further, you can switch the activity layout for each, perhaps choosing search and launch for desktop 1, while sticking with either desktop or folderview layouts for the others, for instance. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
