  Description : Utility that sets background independently for each monitor

HydraPaper is a GTK-based utility that sets background images for multiple
monitor desktops independently. It works by merging multiple wallpaper images
into one and setting the result as wallpaper with the "Spanned" option. It is
based on the GNOME 3 Desktop but officially supports  MATE and Budgie as well,
 and should work on any GNOME-based desktop like Pantheon.

This package offers the functionality of setting different wallpapers on
different monitors, something that GNOME doesn't offer, and similar tools (e.g.
variety) don't support either. It is not a dependency on any other packages.

I plan to maintain it on my own. It is a reasonably small package, it is
fairly simple and its build system is straightforward.
