Keep looking for a good workaround, Hans. Perhaps the cron job that
checks to see if the wallpaper has changed and then uses imagemagick to
make it the right size for the "one monitor" will solve the issue, but
it's not a good permanent fix. Looking outside of pcmanfm-qt has
ultimately led us
I tried all the wallpaper setter that are in ubuntu repositories: Feh, Nitrogen
and Variety. Nitrogen and Feh are able to manage the 2 monitors w/o problems
and variety runs in backround continuously changing wallpaper, and I couldn't
find out how to manage multiple monitors.
The downside is
Too bad HydraPaper is GTK. We probably need something lighter. feh can
certainly handle this but it's a little cludgy (CLI only) but maybe we can make
a little script. There's a bunch of other options to explore, too:

I actually apparently didn't read that bug correctly. The issue is not
the window manager at all. It's pcmanfm-qt. Just as with LXDE, the
desktop (read: wallpapers) are managed by pcmanfm (see the --desktop
switch, which we run by default).
That said, this is an upstream issue that will require a

Apparently this issue also happens in gnome (I haven't used gnome since
2000 and never in 2 monitor environment). In a youtube video they
recommend to use hydra-paper https://github.com/GabMus/HydraPaper/ to
"create" the wallpaper merging the 2 images in one and use this as
wallpaper.
So, maybe
lxde also uses openbox and you can put different wallpapers for each
monitor. When you change the wallpaper it only changes the one in which
you have done the right click with the mouse.

In any case, this ideally is a WM issue, reading that upstream report.
