Bug Description

If I set up a wallpaper with either the "Zoom" or "Centre" options under Appearance in System Settings with two monitors then after logging in, my laptop screen seems to display incorrectly. With zoom, the laptop screen zooms the image too much (perhaps to match the zoom for the resolution of the second screen?) and with centre, it shrunk the horizontal sides (left black bars) of the wallpaper displayed on the laptop screen in one instance, though I'm not sure of the behaviour (the image size matched the screen resolution, which is why it was weird).

This only starts happening *after* login. The wallpaper is displayed correctly in the login screen until the desktop is shown. I *think* the external monitor is unaffected, but the laptop wallpaper changes look after login.

Laptop screen resolution: 1366x768
Separate monitor resolution: 1280x1024
Wallpaper size: 1366x768 (Though this does persist with other image resolutions, e.g. 1920x1080 zooms into a tiny part of the image on the laptop screen rather than zooming out).

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Unity 7.2.3 (Started happening just after update to this version)
... full information has apparently been grabbed by Apport.

Sorry about the verbosity.
