I've just been watching the OS/2 2.0 demo given away free with the current
issue of Computer Shopper (not bad as demo's go.) The one thing that struck
me was that it appears that under OS/2 every directory window can have it's
own wall paper.  For instance, in the demo, a directory of files concerning
a trip to Hawaii had a picture of a beach as it's personal wallpaper.  

The question is ... can this be done under RiscOS without major rewrites of
the desktop code?
