There's a very simple solution made possible by a new feature (at last) in Gnome 2.16:
Simply include just one background image (the current 4:3 one), but in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ubuntu-wallpapers.xml change <options>stretched</options> to <options>zoom</options> On a 16:9 screen (or 8:3, as in my dualscreen setup), Zoom crops the 4:3 image from the top and the bottom so that it fits the screen's aspect ratio exactly. With the setting, a separate widescreen image becomes redundant. -- no wallpaper for dual head/very wide screen monitors https://launchpad.net/bugs/45385 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
