I seriously doubt this is possible as Wallpaper is controlled by the
computer via C. P-Display whereas refresh rate is controlled by each
individual monitor. But to quote rifleman, "I may be wrong, often am."
Anyone else know differently ?

Basically you're right. However there are third party programs available
that allow separate wallpapers (and screensavers) on a multiple monitor
setup. UltraMon from Realtimesoft.com is one program of this type that I'm
aware of. I suspect that the additional desk management software that ships
with many of the multi-monitor cards may offer these features as well.
