I am experiencing the same bug in Ubuntu 14.04. My main monitor is landscape 2560x1440, and secondary monitor (on the left of the main monitor) is portrait 1920x1200.
Is there any fix in sight? And is this confirmed to be a bug in nautilus? The Ubuntu lock screen always follows the correct behaviour, but the desktop is what gets distorted after a reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168705 Title: Multiple monitors with different orientation leads to stretched wallpaper when waking up. Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have three monitors all hooked up to a Radeon 6950, using fglrx. One of the monitors is in portrait orientation and is a 1680x1050 monitor while the two monitors in landscape are 1920x1200 monitors. When I first select a wallpaper (say a wallpaper that is 1920x1200), it does the Right Thing. That is, the two landscape monitors show the wallpaper as you'd expect to see a 1920x1200 image on a 1920x1200 image display. The portrait monitor shows a slightly scaled portrait aspect rectangle out of the center of that wallpaper. When I leave my computer for some amount of time the wallpaper on the two landscape monitors is zoomed by what I assume to be the same percentage as the wallpaper on the portrait monitor. I say "for some amount of time" because if I set "Turn screen off when inactive for:" to 1 minute and "Lock screen after:" to 1 minute and then wake them up and unlock after a few minutes the problem hasn't manifested itself, but _every_ time I'm away from the computer for longer periods of time the issue has manifested. To fix, I merely change the wallpaper to another wallpaper and then back again. At this point the wallpaper displays correctly. See the attached image for screenshots of the issue.
