He's not the only one, we are two (at least...). But perhaps for
different reasons.

I want different backgrounds on different desktops, I think that's a
simple feature, but the only window manager that manage this is the old
enlightentment 0.16.
For this reason I don't want nautilus to draw my desktop, and I have to
go digging in gconf for the settings I need (that, BTW, are not
documented, or perhaps I didn't search in the right places).

Still, I haven't found any way to let nautilus draw the icons on the
desktop, but not the background image.

Another thing that only Enlightement manages so far is using the mouse
wheel to change desktop. No one else could do this last time I tried...
