If I am not wrong, what you suggest is something which changes the
background every time I switch the desktop, isn't it?
If so, it is not exactly what I mean.
I also ad a look at your scripts: they are very well done, but somewhat
too involved and with too many interdependencies to be easily modified.
What I was simply looking for, was a (simple, if possible) way to tell
fvwm:
for desktop 0 use this (function to select a) background
for desktop 1 use this background
The solution suggested by Mikhael seems much closer to what I wanted: I
will try it.
Thank you anyway
Fabio
