The "different wallpaper on every desktop" works really well. What a great addition.

joetheblow: A VDM allows you to have separate, individual, workspaces. Each is hidden from the other. On one desk, you could have all your communication apps running ie Mail, news, irc. On another desk you could have your graphics program. On another desk you could have your programming projects. On and on. You still have only one desktop at a time showing in front of you, but you can switch from one to the other. Did that help at all?
