Yeah, I'm missing the "span and zoom" functionality which was present previously. It was really nice to be able to use a background wallpaper of more-or-less the right dimensions for a dual monitor and GNOME would zoom it across both monitors. The SPAN functionality as it stands now does not fix this. If the resolution of the image is slightly smaller, for example, then black areas appear to the left and right of the image.
What a pity this functionality is gone. I remember being very impressed with GNOME when I selected a dual monitor wallpaper for the first time and it "magically" fitted full-screen across both my monitors. I despair when these regression-type bugs creep in. Too often they take years to fix.
