Hi,

I am looking for a possibility in kde 3.2.1 to setup multiple desktops 
with different files on each desktop. At the moment I got four virtual 
desktops with four different background pictures, but I was unable to 
find a way to use four different folders to put files on the four 
different desktops.

After searching through the mailing list archive I found that somebody 
suggest a similar thing in 2002 but they could not figure out a way to 
do this easily within kde.

Basically I am looking for an easy way to do something like this to 
create four desktops with different links, files and applications on 
each one.

switch ( current_desktop )
{
     case 1: set_desktop_files("~/Desktop_1"); break;
     case 2: set_desktop_files("~/Desktop_2"); break;
     case 3: set_desktop_files("~/Desktop_3"); break;
     case 4: set_desktop_files("~/Desktop_4"); break;
}

It was suggested to create four users and to start four XServers to 
create a similar thing but this seems like an overkill to me. Different 
background pictures are already possible, so why not different desktop 
folders?

Greetings
Alexander Steppke
