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 right back to it. Because of that, I'm going to set
the importance to wishlist.

I just left a comment at the upstream bug in hopes of spurning
development. The long story short is that there's no consistency among
window managers and so detection is necessary, but they are reluctant to
make a dependency on an X11 component to do this (cuz Wayland). I
suggested we simply make a non-default compile time flag to turn this
on. Hopefully that will be enough to encourage them to do the work for
the immediate need. I can't imagine the code they write won't be in some
way useful when Wayland comes around.
