RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description 35472742437j275u27u27k2 2012-08-10 18:00:21 UTC
After hooking up another monitor to my videocard (Nvidia chipset),
I discovered that setting one wallpaper to span both screens isn't possible.
There is no "span" option. Available options are: tiled, zoom, centered, scaled and fill screen.

This means that if I set a wallpaper it gets displayed on both screens, one spanning wallpaper is not possible.

A rough workaround is based on packages of Fedora 12
1. Install the following two packages:
constantine-backgrounds-12.1.1-2.fc12.noarch.rpm
constantine-backgrounds-single-12.1.1-2.fc12.noarch.rpm
2. Downgrade the following packages:
control-center-2.28.1-18.fc12.x86_64.rpm
control-center-filesystem-2.28.1-18.fc12.x86_64.rpm
gnome-desktop-2.28.2-6.fc12.x86_64.rpm
nautilus-2.28.4-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm
nautilus-extensions-2.28.4-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm

The same problem and fix are already described in bugreport 556369 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556369 related to Fedora 12) and bugreport 616701 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616701 related to RHEL 6.0).

Apparently this problem could be easily solved.
Please include the fix if possible :-)

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 05:28:17 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 unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2017-12-06 12:52:45 UTC
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.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

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:
