OK, now I think we're getting somewhere. What I was thinking about was 
getting the "WorkspaceSpecificBack" directive to disappear, but perhaps 
it would be easier to use "wmsetbg -w n" in a loop, or something like that.

The type of thing I am talking about about is this:

Assume that you have selected a common theme with only one background. 
This will be set according to the global "WorkspaceBack" directive. 
Then, suppose you set up multiple backgrounds. Fine. Then, if you try to 
reinstate a single global background with a theme, for example, only the 
previously unassigned backgrounds change to the theme background. It 
seems that once "WorkspaceSpecificBack" is in your defaults file, it 
sticks there until it gets manually removed,
or am I missing something obvious?

cheers
