Bug Description

Hey guys,

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04

Appearance preferences...Backgrounds...Style options , Tile,Zoom, Center, Scale, Stretch, Span...
ALL options , except for Span only mirror the wallpaper on both monitors...SPan does not span both monitors but simply place the scaled wallpaper in between both monitors..ie..half of image on one monitor...half of image on other monitor..

I would have expected Span to actually "stretch" the wallpaper across both monitors but it does not.

coz
