huh, on mine it only changed the one desktop. So, I switched to the
next, and changed it, and then the next, for 6 screens/desktops. 

Try this, go to an empty screen. Right click and select "Desktop
Activity Settings". Pick "Wallpaper" and download some new ones. Click
on a selection and click on "apply". Viola! The desktop should have a
new wallpaper. Close it. Go to the next desktop. It should still be
original. Right click, select wallpaper and go past go, collect $500.
Etc. I didn't install anything at all. It wasn't until you brought it up
that I even tried. Now, all of my desktops would make my mother blush.
Thanx! If I get into trouble, I'll blame you. ;) Ric
