I added to the page another option that is known (in two cases) to solve the "black background" problem. Run the following commands, which should set 9 desktops with 9 images. After that, setting the desired number of desktops and setting their background should work.

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do wget http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/backgrounds/$i.png ; done
gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/active -t list --list-type int [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop views/$i/bg-image -t string /home/user/MyDocs/$i.png ; done
About modified-hildon-desktop not restoring hildon-desktop on uninstall - it is a bug that I thought I fixed in 1.12, but apparently I did not. I hope it is really fixed in 1.14. You can restore original hildon-desktop (with or without uninstalling modified-hildon-desktop) by reinstalling Nokia's hildon-desktop package:
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop
