 Not just the wall paper! The more importantly things are devices such
as floppy, ZIP, CDROM, and printers on the desktop as well as in the
panel.
 And yes you do want most of the other things to be the same for all
hosts/displays. The only problem with session-manager is that it (at
least in KDE) hides some widows off the screen when you move from
the big display to a smaller one. The only case when you really want
different wallpaper on different displays is when one of them has low
bbp.
