Re: separate backgrounds with dual monitor

[Ben Davis <ben xsusio com>]

I usually just make one large background image and literally paste the 
two in there, for instance, I have a 1280x1024 monitor and a 1152x864 
monitor so I make an image in gimp that is ((1280+1152) x 1024) = 
2432x1024, and I arrange the images how I want them to look on the monitors.
