Bug Description

Binary package hint: xfdesktop4

Currently there is no way to zoom a backdrop image just enough that it fills the whole screen, but no more than that. The only modes that fill the whole screen are stretch (doesn't retain the aspect ratio) and tile (doesn't scale the image).

Attached is a small patch that adds this functionality.

The initial patch changes the behavior of the "Auto" mode from "Scaled" to "Zoomed". Attaching an alternative, non-intrusive patch that only adds the "Zoomed" mode, without touching anything else.

Attaching a debdiff, using the latter (less intrusive) patch.
