Description of problem: Update to version 2.28.2 broke spanning a single background across multiple monitors. (release announcment http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-package-announce@redhat.com/msg33288.html ) Specifically gnome bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147808 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.28.2-1.fc12 How reproducible: every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use pre-2.28.2 gnome-desktop package 2. set a WIDE background image (like the wide-screen lion image from F11) 3. ooh and aah over it spreading across multiple screens 4. upgrade to 2.28.2-1fc12. 5. log out and back in 6. go "WHAT!?!?!?" as you notice the image is not spanned across the monitors but displayed twice... once on each monitor. Actual results: the image is "squished" once per monitor instead of spanning across both. Expected results: the image to span across both monitors as it did previously Additional info: Suggest add an option to toggle weather monitor spanning should be done. Workaround: The only workaround I have it to tell nautilus to NOT control the desktop (gconf setting /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop set to false). and then use compiz to set the background (via wallpaper plugin).. however this has the problem of loosing all icons on the desktop.
