Different Wallpapers on different virtual desktops

Hello all,
I am a fluxbox user who has recently converted to xfce4. I am using ubuntu and have emerged the xubuntu package, I really like it so far.
However I am curious is there a way to change the wallpaper of each virtual desktop in order to easily identify which one I am on via the wallpaper?

I modified the :~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml file
upoun logging out and logging back in all desktops still had the same image just a different image.
Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks!

I never tested it, but if you really want it. Try this:

And set nautilus as your default file manager. Then it could work.

Would this be the place to request that such capability be added to future versions of xfdesktop?  It seems to be a small feature, that wouldn't burden the overall lightweightness of xfce...
