[SOLVED] Different Widgets to each desktop?

[JesterEric]

Kubuntu 10.10 running KDE 4.5.1 on an ASUS EEE PC 1005PEB. Running Plasma Netbook interface.

I want to add different backgrounds to my virtual desktop. Every post I've searched says to go into settings and click on the "different widgets to each desktop". However, when I go there, that box is greyed out and I have no access. I'm guessing this is some sort of permissions issue, but I do not know. Any/all assistance appreciated.

Update:
Looks like the issue is in fact the "netbook" vs. "desktop" interface. Switching to the latter lets me click the "different widgets" button.

That said, the netbook interface is nicer for my, um, netbook. So, is there another workaround?

rite click the desktop pager (the icon on the panel for desktops ....you may have to go to the desktop interface first)...click the pager settings.....click vertual desktops ...thar is the check box that you want

Thanks, Vinny. Yes, I got that part, unfortunately if you change back to "netbook" interface, those changes do not come with it and you can again not click the "different widgets" button. So far as I can tell then, the option of multiple desktops with different wallpaper only works on the desktop interface in KDE 4.5?

no that's not the case ................I have a 10.10 install on a USB give me a hower or so and I'll fire it up when I get back and from the store and see just wear it is on the netbook UI and post back.....if no one has specified it yet

strangely enough and on a side note rekonq couldn't upload the screen shots to photobucket so I installed firefox and it did

so you were right the different widgets for each desktop IS disabled in the netbook UI in a default 10.10
