I have no idea what going on with the panel, but backgrounds are set per 
desktop in Control Center. Just go to Appearance & Themes-->Background and 
you'll see a pulldown there that defines individual desktops or all desktops. 
If all of this fails, try renaming ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and 
restarting KDE. This will remove all of your previous settings and force you 
to set new ones. Good if the whole rc file is corrupt.
