"scale" vs. "span" in gnome-control-center

[F Wolff <friedel translate org za>]

Hi everybody

I need some help with these terms. I know I should probably report a
bug, but these days my experience of following that route hasn't
provided much progress.

In the "Background" settings, there are options for the display of the
background. Most make sense to me, but the effect of "scale" and "span"
seem identical when I tried it by running from the live CD.

Can anybody provide some insight?

Friedel
