wallpaper for testing

SUMMARY
If you configure the display to be at square-like resolution and then press Meta+Q to view activities, your square-like wallpaper will appear stretched 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a resolution with 5:4 aspect ratio
2. Use an image from the attachment as a wallpaper 
3. Trigger activity switcher (Meta+Q)

OBSERVED RESULT
The wallpaper is stretched

EXPECTED RESULT
The wallpaper will look the same as on desktop
My suggestion: wallpapers in activity switcher should match configured aspect ratio of a display
