Bug Description

I have two screens in a Nvidia/Twinview setup. There is a single-image wallpaper centered over the joined screens.

When the lock screen shows, the wallpaper only shows on one screen (but the date/user information at the top shows on both). The aspect is preserved so this looks awful.

IMO the wallpaper *should* display over both screens, just as it does on the real desktop.

I've taken a photo (lock.jpg below) of this to give a better description.
