Having different background images sounds like a very good idea to grasp the 
concept of Virtual Desktops quickly and to always "know where you are".

If new users really start to use this feature though I think the show_desktop 
is necessary, since both desktops be full with windows at some point.

I actually did different colour versions of default_blue to see how it works. 
I think blue and green could be the default - with yellow and 'pink' (red 
seemed a bit aggressive somehow) as options for those who later decide to 
have more Virtual Desktops.
