Bug Description
This bug is present in Ubuntu since at least 3 or 4 cycles. It's always reproducible with my current dual-monitor positioning and setup. It only happens when a smaller screen is configured for the left-most position. Seems like some code after reboot assumes that the left-most screen is the main screen.
Steps to reproduce:
* Create a dual-monitor setup with 2 different sized screens
* Configure the smaller screen to be the left-most screen, while the bigger - to the right
* Configure the right bigger monitor as the main screen (with the launcher etc.)
* Setup a high-resolution wallpaper as 'Zoom'
-> Notice that the wallpaper looks good on the big screen and is scaled down on the smaller screen, which is good
* Reboot your system (a session restart is probably enough)
Actual result:
* Notice that now the wallpaper on the big screen has the left-most monitor resolution and is scaled up, looking pixelated
Expected result:
* The wallpaper stays the same as it was originally, with both screens scaling down the high-res image to their respective resolutions

I might be able to dig into it deeper myself, but first I'd need to know what component is responsible for actually setting up and displaying the wallpaper. I know that in the past nautilus had something to do with it, but is it still the case?
