Public bug reported: I have three monitors all hooked up to a Radeon 6950, using fglrx. One of the monitors is in portrait orientation and is a 1680x1050 monitor while the two monitors in landscape are 1920x1200 monitors.
When I first select a wallpaper (say a wallpaper that is 1920x1200), it does the Right Thing. That is, the two landscape monitors show the wallpaper as you'd expect to see a 1920x1200 image on a 1920x1200 image display. The portrait monitor shows a slightly scaled portrait aspect rectangle out of the center of that wallpaper. When I leave my computer for some amount of time the wallpaper on the two landscape monitors is zoomed by what I assume to be the same percentage as the wallpaper on the portrait monitor. I say "for some amount of time" because if I set "Turn screen off when inactive for:" to 1 minute and "Lock screen after:" to 1 minute and then wake them up and unlock after a few minutes the problem hasn't manifested itself, but _every_ time I'm away from the computer for longer periods of time the issue has manifested. To fix, I merely change the wallpaper to another wallpaper and then back again. At this point the wallpaper displays correctly. See the attached image for screenshots of the issue.
