I am assuming you are using Gnome since thats where you posted it.
You could try this app, I have just tested it and it works.

Here is the .deb I made:

To change the the wallpaper, right click on the one to change and click Change Wallpaper.
Once you are done click Save.
Then click Stop and then Restart.
It takes a second once you switch desktops, but does work fine.

Re: Different wallpapers
I'm looking for a different type of solution because I use dual head much of the time. All the time on my workstation, and all the time when I can on my laptop.
I want to be able to put a different wallpaper on each LCD rather than having to 'zoom' to have the correct aspect ratio.
I've used wallpaper-tray and wallpopoz and neither do what I want.
For what it's worth, for you who like wallpapoz ( I do for one monitor ), here's a script I wrote to automate the creation of the wallpapoz.xml file:
So, if someone can tell me how to 'make' gnome work like xfce, kde, windowmaker, etc. which all manage to put different wallpapers on different LCD screens, I'm all ears. I've not found out how to do it...
Thanks and I hope someone likes the script above...

Code: Select all
$ cat mkwallpapoz
#!/bin/sh

echo "cd $HOME/.wallpapoz"
cd ~/.wallpapoz
FL=wallpapoz.xml
#
echo "Some files in your image directory may not be readable."
echo "For example, txt files that describe an image."
echo "Remove spaces from filenames before running this, or simply edit"
echo "$HOME/.wallpapoz/wallpapoz.xml and make corrections."
echo -n "Enter path to image directory : "
read IMGDIR
#
echo moving current file to $FL.`date -I`
mv $FL $FL.`date -I`
#
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' > $FL
echo '<!DOCTYPE Wallpapoz>' >> $FL
echo -n 'Enter interval in minutes : '
read INTRVL
echo -n 'Enter random setting (0=no, 1=yes) : '
read RNDM
LN='<wallpapoz interval="'$INTRVL
LN=$LN'" random="'$RNDM
LN=$LN'">'
echo $LN >> $FL
echo 'Setting up wallpapoz.xml for one workspace'
echo ' <workspace name="Desktop 1" no="1">' >> $FL
LST=`ls $IMGDIR`
for i in $LST
do
echo " <file>$IMGDIR/$i</file>" >> $FL
done
echo ' </workspace>' >> $FL
echo '</wallpapoz>' >> $FL
echo "DONE! Editing $HOME/.wallpapoz/$FL"
vi $HOME/.wallpapoz/$FL
Thanks and I hope someone likes the script above...
