Also present in the latests versions
Comment 2 Bradford Hovinen 2001-10-13 00:18:40 UTC 
This would require support from the window manager. If the GNOME
window manager spec does not include support for this (I have to do
some research to find out), then it would be highly nontrivial to
implement, and might not be possible without some really nasty hacks.
I will check into it when I get a chance, but if that turns out to be
the case I will mark this WONTFIX.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-01-23 20:40:27 UTC 
Bradford: have you done any research on this? If so, instead of
WONTFIX, can you reassign to sawfish? I'm pretty sure this is a dup of
something there...
Comment 4 Bradford Hovinen 2002-01-23 20:47:23 UTC 
Reassigning to Sawfish as per Luis' suggestion...
Comment 5 John Harper 2002-01-23 20:52:18 UTC 
Nothing to do with sawfish. The various wm-specs provide everything
that is needed to set backgrounds per workspace outside the window manager
Comment 6 Luis Villa 2002-04-10 02:52:48 UTC 
Updating all cc bugs that have the GNOME2 keyword set to the GNOME2.0 milestone,
to help jrb triage/prioritize cc bugs. Filter on 'luis doing GNOME2 work' to
ignore this spam.
Comment 7 Chema Celorio 2002-06-20 05:44:29 UTC 
Dunno about this bug.. it falls in the hackerdom side for me.
Comment 8 Luis Villa 2002-11-07 14:36:25 UTC 
SPAM as discussed last night. Search for 'SPAM as discussed last night' to catch
these all and delete them. :)
