I added this to the gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu, which
corresponds better to the upstream bug than "meta-gnome2".
This bug still appears in Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-control-center
1:3.2.0-0ubuntu6.

Hmm. Span does seem to work in this case at least. I definitely would
have expected Tile to work correctly as well, but it doesn't. Anyways,

No, because there is the following piece of code before, so my guess is
that my fix proposal will give a : "SPAN + ZOOM" effect.

Florent,
I didn't rebuild or anything, but it looks like that diff will just make 'span'
work exactly like 'zoom.'

This problem is still present.

this is a regression, as people already noted everything was working in gnome

My display configuration(virtual desktop) consists of two monitors. From left

An alternative is to make a 'span' checkbox that switches between
treating each monitor separately or as one monitor, that way you can
have any combination you want (span+zoom, span+stretch, etc). I

Agreed with Paul, Omer, and others.
The bug is not fixed as the original/correct behavior has not been
restored.
The "span" option should work as the name implies, and fill the entire
desktop, scaling as appropriate.
