Can't create multiple desktops with xgl and compiz

I didn't realize it, but I guess there are 4 desktops by default. I'm just so accustomed to having 4 desktops that I can change the wallpaper for each. But I'm loving the cube, and the alt+ctrl + up that gives you that mac like feature. Pulling and stretching windows like a rubberband was a trip to. I dig it.

well, my goofing around has lead me how to create 4 desktops like before. However, this disables compiz. I'm actually in the process of figuring out how to config it back to the cube.

 

but, for those who don't like the cube and like the traditional 4+ desktop look.

 

first I went to /etc/kde/kdm then opened up the backgroundrc file with an editor. There's a line that says MultiWallpaperMode=NoMulti but I switched it to MultiWallpaperMode=Multi

 

restarted KDE and all of a sudden I have the default 4 desktops now.

however, be aware that typing "NoMulti" back in the file doesn't bring back the cube. I have to reconfigure compiz.
