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

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-03-03 02:17:50 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
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.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:
