Again, thanks for this info.

Somebody told me about this a while ago but now I finally got it working 
after you reminded me of it. Working OK, but have to admit that the 
change-over from wallpaper to wallpaper for each desktop is not instant 
right now. Perhaps this will improve with later versions of Wallpapoz - 
I certainly hope so. However at the moment it is certainly a lot better 
than always staring at the same wallpaper for each of the desktops.
