Comment (by humdinger):

 Personally, I'm not sure showing the background images would be that
 useful. For one, if you actually use different workspaces, the background
 will be largely obscured by windows. Not showing the bachground images
 also feels a bit cleaner IMO. Then, how do you decide to what workspace
 you switch to or move a window to? Probably not thinking "Hmmm... Ricci,
 Knightley or Portman...?". :)

 I usually keep workspaces spacially in mind, i.e. nr.1 is left, nr. 2nd
 from left, nr.3 3rd, nr.4 4th. You can quickly switch from space to space
 with CTRL+ALT+CursorLeft/Right.[[BR]]
 It's also useful to mentally assign topics for workspaces, like[[BR]]
 nr.1: net-things - web, mail, irc[[BR]]
 nr.2: coding - Paladin, BeBook[[BR]]
 nr.3: file managing - Tracker windows[[BR]]
 nr.4: empty - misc. stuff you quickly start, do stuff, and quit again
