(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: xinerama Version: KDE 3.0.7 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot Severity: wishlist Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: any OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified If I use Xinerama and I have a background image for KDesktop then the image is split over both monitors (in case of two minitors ;-) This is annoying in the case where my background image is rather small (a cartoon for example) because part of the cartoon is on one monitor and the rest is on the other. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
I'm having the exact same problem. Here's my suggestion: provide selections so that either the same image or different images can be used on both displays (or all displays, up to the number of displays). Also, for the "slideshow" mode, allow different images to be displayed on the two (or more) monitors.
I agree with comment #1 and vote for this
It would even help to make unscaled images not centered but begin on the left of right side of the desktop. One wouldn't even have to care about Xinerama then
It would help to make unscaled background-Images not be centered, but begin on the left or right side. Images with the size of one screen would then be only on that screen then instead of beeing split because they are displayed in the middle of the Desktop.
