I found a memory leak in my patch...
Here's a "fixed" version.
but still leaks, because libvte keep reference to the object.
For details, see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578493
we need to wait until libvte people fix it.
Also includes:
fixed segfaults in gdk_pixbuf_scale()
use
I wrote a patch for this feature.
Tiled, Centered, Scaled, Scaled-Fill, Streched modes are available.
This patch can be applied on revision 3456.
I hope this helps.
** Patch added: "added background image scaling"
