Description Steve Cleveland 2011-03-03 01:43:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

In RHEL5, I could set my background to an image large enough to span both monitors (3840x1200 for instance).  In RHEL6, that image is squashed on the first monitor and copied to the second.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-desktop-2.28.2-8.el6.x86_64

Additional info:

Appears to be similar to Fedora 12 bug: 556369

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
