nifty. thanks for the link.
I'll have to see how well they scale to my 3 monitors at 4320x1080

What are people using to set root-window images on multi-monitor setups?
ImageMagick is pretty buggy when it comes to multiple heads; it *really*
wants to repeat the first display's worth of the image on all three heads.

I use Enlightenment as my WM; and it has similar bugs, where if you set the
background image to stretch across all heads, it *might* do that, but even
if it looks like it worked, you'll find when you move a window, that the
portion of the background revealed by removing the window, is the
corresponding section of the image on the first head.
(So it looks like the image is properly stretched across all 3 heads; but if
you move a window away from the center of the middle head, the image
displayed in the area where that window used to be, is actually from the
middle of the first head).

I'm guessing it's an X issue; something to do with not updating the correct
buffers. Anyone else seen this?
