They are not backed, they are fully redrawn. I mean, applications in the
"other" workspace do not use image memory, they are "out of display" or
something. I know, or I guess, because if you have an application that
takes a long time to redraw, like OOo, and you jump to its workspace, you
see it blank and then it starts to redraw. The other method, giving it a
virtual display, would use more resources and memory, but jumping would be
way faster.
At least, that's how they behave in gnome.
