Joe and Donald - from a scientific standpoint, adding pebbles adds surface area, so has to increase the evaporation rate. Not that it's significant, mind you....trays are, as you stated, essentially worthless for boosting humidity.

Read the "humidity" article Ross provided the link to. It explains it pretty well.
