A friend of mine asked if it was possible to have different backgrounds on different desktops in pekwm, which it wasn’t as pekwm does not take care of setting the background. However, to solve this issue I’ve hacked up a small application during this week which is named wallpaperd. Wallpaperd is a simple daemon  listening for workspace changes and then updating the background image.

The current release is 0.1.5, which is known to work under Ubuntu Linux, OS X, OpenSolaris and OpenBSD. Check it out!
