Hi, I've looked in to this a bit, and I can say that this is a difference in the interpretation of the "picture_options" for the background. I have "zoom" set, and this covers the screen with the normal GNOME components, but not with netbook-launcher.
<dobey> james_w: zoom is scale up and crop such that the smaller of w/h is the ratio used <james_w> so it scales keeping the aspect ratio, and then crops the left over bit off? <james_w> whereas "stretched" would not respect the aspect ratio? <james_w> so what does that make "scaled"? <dobey> yes <dobey> scaled scales but doesn't exceed the size of the screen <dobey> the extra area is filled with the color settings so netbook-launcher appears to be doing "scaled" for "zoom". The code is else if (strcmp (priv->option, "scaled") == 0) { load_scaled (priv->filename, priv->texture); } else if (strcmp (priv->option, "zoom") == 0) { load_scaled (priv->filename, priv->texture); } which seems to confirm that. libgnome-desktop/gnome-bg.c is where it is implemented. It has get_scaled_pixbuf which may be useful.
