Different wallpaper for each homescreen? I'd like to be able to have a different wallpaper for each homescreen. I found a live wallpaper that lets you do this. 
Is there a more efficient/less cumbersome way?
AFAIK the default Android launcher does NOT allow you to do this. However, there are some launchers available on Play Store which let you do this. Regina 3D Launcher is one of them.

The other option I see is what you are already doing, using a live wallpaper like MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.

(I have mentioned some popular apps to do this, there are alternatives available, you can search on Play store.)
