The above "Screenshot.png" shows the result when this image (from the *excellent* sxc.hu) is applied with the "Span" setting.

The image is 3264 × 2448.
The monitors are 1024 × 1280 (left) and 1280 × 1024 (right).
The desktop is 2304 (=1280 + 1024) × 1280.

Observed:
"Scale" — The entire image fits on each *monitor*. On the left, scaled to 1024 px wide. On the right, scaled to 1280 px wide.
"Zoom" — The image fills each *monitor*. On the left, scaled to 1280 px high. On the right, scaled to 1024 px high.
  (i.e. "Scale" shrinks a large image *more* than "Zoom")
"Span" (shown) — The entire image fits on the *desktop*; scaled to 1028 px high and centred across both *monitors*. Analogous to "Scale".

Expected:
"Span" — The image fills the entire *desktop*; scaled to 2304 px wide and centred across both *monitors*. Analogous to "Zoom".

As far as I can tell, there is no way to accomplish the latter. This is a regression.
