NO wallpaper with Dual Monitor !!!

**Rim3nX** · April 13th, 2011

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop.
I've attached a external monitor (1280x1024) to my laptop...
Resolution of laptops monitor is 1280x800
I configured in nVidia X server settings for both monitors to work in twinview. That works fine, except there is no wallpaper and background is just white, and its killing my eyes !!! I've attached the screenshot.
Can anyone help me with this ???

Same exact problem here, guess it's a dual monitor thing. Anybody have a fix ?

I don't even have wallpaper on my single laptop monitor! i tried to set a wallpaper with same size of my monitor resolution (1280x800), but does still not work.

As you can see in my screen shot it's working for me. There is a thread for a person with just a gray screen, can't get wallpaper either. I tried to help him figure it out but didn't succeed. Nvidia is the commonality and I don't have that. I searched here and there were hits but I didn't search through them.
