Our BTS fell victim to an IDE controller failure, and is now sitting as
several thousand files in /lost+found. Until it comes back up, new

debian@ximian.com is the contact address for issues with our Debian
packages.

Have you reported this to the GNOME Control Center people? I suspect
that it would be broken upstream - we don't patch the background
properties capplet in any way.
And unfortunately, we don't have a multi-head box to test with.
