[SOLVED]Compiz-fusion wallpaper plugin!!!

Hello!

     i'm a newbie in linux, i would like to have 4 different wallpapers on each side of the cube, i tried wallpapoz, but im not satisfied. Finally i figured out that there is a plugin in compiz fusion, named wallaper plugin what can do this trick for me, but because Nautilus does not natively support multiple wallpapers, a patch is required for this plugin to work correctly when using Nautilus. And here is the problem. I found these patches:
http://www.russ.co.il/patch/02_compiz_background.patch
http://www.russ.co.il/patch/30_rgba_colormap.patch
But these patches are made for nautilus & eel ver. 2.20.0, and i have ver 2.24.2-1 so i removed my eel and nautilus and made these operations:

tar -xvzf nautilus-2.20.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf eel-2.20.0.tar.gz
mv 02_compiz_background.patch eel-2.20.0
mv 30_rgba_colormap.patch nautilus-2.20.0

cd eel-2.20.0
patch -p1 <02_compiz_background.patch
./configure && make && make install

cd ../nautilus-2.20.0
patch -p1 <30_rgba_colormap.patch
./configure && make && make install

but after make install i get an error message. I tried with higher versions of eel but without success.
Somebody can help me, how to use compiz-fusion wallpaper plugin on my Arch/GNOME sistem?
THX

After make install eel i get this error:

test-eel-image-table.c: In function 'image_table_child_pressed_callback':

Re: [SOLVED]Compiz-fusion wallpaper plugin!!!

enable the wallpaper plugin in compiz fusion, then with gconf-editor, disable desktop-gnome-background-draw_background.  That should allow compiz fusion to control the desktop background.
