Set Desktop Background Position should include 'spanned' option

[Bryce Harrington]

Binary package hint: firefox

With dual head systems you can set background images to 'spanned' which causes an extra wide image to be split with half on one monitor and half on the other. This option is available in Appearance Preferences in the Style dropdown (along with Tile, Zoom, Scale, Center, Stretch.)

In Firefox the context menu over an image allows 'Set Desktop Background'. This also has a 'Position' dropdown (which probably should be renamed 'Style' to match Appearance Preferences), but it only shows the options Tile, Center, and Stretch.

Firefox does indeed not have the same option set.

Just re-confirming that issue still exists with the natty release.

Still exists in oneiric and precise.

Feature added, probably some time ago.

In Firefox 70 the 'Set Desktop Background' drop-down has options:
Centre, Tile, Stretch, Fill, Fit and Span
Span doesn't work too well here. Probably due to monitors being of
different sizes and resolutions.

Closing as fixed.
