Having four completely different wallpapers looks fine. It can even help to keep things organized in your mind:
"What desktop was that icon on again?"
"Oh right, the one with the water wallpaper."
EDIT: I was thinking of four different "room" themes.
The "furnace room" is a dirty brick wall, and it has settings related stuff and the terminal icon on it....
The "living room" has paisley upholstery and you have all of your media-related icons there.
The "kitchen" has a picture of one of those old wall-mounted rotary phones and you keep your communications icons there
The "den" has a shag rug, and you keep all your games there.

Via http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...=hp&q=3200x480 will also find pictures sooner or later although right now I didn't see many. (Actually, you can see one guy having a project using 4 laptops to project a 3200x480 wide screen on a festival, and you also see kontorii's blog with post about his theme maker. Pretty cool... 
). You can then split these 3200x480 in 4 parts. Only problem is that (usually) the 4th part doesn't connect with the 1st part. To make cool backgrounds which do have 4th part connected with 1st would require a 360 degrees photograph!
Moving background like in E71 would also be neat. Even though it renders very well (better than X) it'd still be too bad for the battery though.

what about backgrounds based on the 4 elements (not counting the later introduced aether - to make everything fit):
fire
water
earth
air
fire
water
earth
air

Aether? No, you've got it wrong. This is the fifth element:

It worked, no discontinuities (although, unlike Dexter, I am not sure if I want to have blood splatters as the backgrounds :-).

Andrew, thanks, just the thing! I just need to wait for my device to see how the widgets and so on fit on top of those. I am a little afraid that I might like the wallpapers too much to clutter the desktop with widgets tho
