- ha-ha I see what you mean; I had not used the option for different root window
- images before and had the same for all w/spaces; however, having messed about
- with it I can see why it's so annoying - ruddy frustrating in fact. Grrrr - this
- MUST be sorted out - what;s the point in it just giving you back the default
- image (NB this doesnt happen if you dont use the options to set up different
- root images to start with)
