Disabling plasma desktop background

[Stephen Kell]

Hi,

Can I turn off the plasma desktop background (i.e. the window that gets 
mapped over the root window) without killing plasma? 

I want to use plasma mainly for the applets like knetworkmanager, and 
don't want to lose access to my plain old X11 root window.  I tried 
"remove this desktop activity" but in the case of the desktop background 
it appears to do nothing. This is in KDE 4.4.2 (Ubuntu Lucid) -- 
apologies if there are relevant changes in subsequent versions.

Thanks for any help,
Stephen.
