Hello Dave
For some reason it does not work that way for me here.  Here is a screenshot of 
my desktop settings dialog:

When I do try to do exactly like you described, of course the first desktop I try 
it on is changed to whatever picture I choose.  But when I try it on the second 
desktop, the picture on the second desktop changes to the new picture, but so 
does the one that I had changed previously.  This is the KDE 4.3 that I recently 
got from the official Fedora updates repo.

Please feel free to tell me whatever it is that I am missing.
