Hey guys,
 well there should not be a span + zoom effect....
Span means to "stretch" the wallpaper ,, regardless of the images
resolution... to the exact resolution of the dual monitor setup!
 so if a 1024x1024 image is being used on dual monitors at 2560x1024...
"Span" will resize the image to 2560x1024.
i am not sure why this has been a confusing issue..
It worked fine before lucid , and since then it is completely broken.
I believe that whomever changed this was coding on a laptop and simply
removed what they thought was useless code !
