[Bug 1168705] Re: Multiple monitors with different orientation leads to stretched wallpaper when waking up.
I've confirmed that this bug is due to nautilus, but haven't been successful in fixing it (except for a workaround, described at the end of this post). The steps to reproduce the issue are: 1) Set the wallpaper using either the system settings dialog, or gsettings from the terminal (either method will display the wallpaper correctly) 2) Shut down nautilus by typing nautilus -q in a terminal 3) Launch nautilus again, and the wallpaper proportions will now be incorrect (the picture will be overly magnified on the larger monitor) In upstream, gnome shell is now responsible for rendering the background, and nautilus simply renders an invisible background over it and places the icons on top, as per these 5 commits on Feb. 20th, 2013: https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=f0f36c876e4810b190a82e3a953d9263c106447f https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=9f99ba3506d5cf1584d9afa952e11aed17deac2f https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=8b4a83ea80bf657cd8be754786e5f9daf7d5cc52 https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=07d2ca86237fac8b5bddc4e619e43dfc813bc5e7 https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=372c60d3f8590280df23f457a67652adec369697 Applying the above patches to Ubuntu's nautilus gives strange results (severe flickering). So for now, I just made myself a simple workaround. I wrote the bash script below and added it to my startup applications: #!/bin/bash gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options stretched sleep 5 # give a few seconds for the wallpaper to change gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options zoom Basically you need to change the wallpaper mode, and then change it back to what you had originally (in my case zoom), and the wallpaper will be redrawn corretly. I hope that helps whoever else might be experiencing this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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.

[Bug 1168705] Re: Multiple monitors with different orientation leads to stretched wallpaper when waking up.
I did some preliminary examination of the nautilus source code from the Trusty repo. There is a helper object which is used to change the desktop background, in libnautilus-private/nautilus-desktop-backround.c (this file was actually removed in upstream: https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=372c60d3f8590280df23f457a67652adec369697) The actual scaling and drawing of the desktop background is done in gnome-bg.c in the libgnome-desktop package. If/when I get the chance, I'll try to play around with it and see if I figure it out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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.

[Bug 1168705] Re: Multiple monitors with different orientation leads to stretched wallpaper when waking up.
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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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.

This happens every time I log in. I also have a monitor in portrait and one in landscape.
