Just to verify. backup your old xfce4-desktop.xml. replace with the
following and edit "FULL PATH TO YOUR WALLPAPER" to well.. the full path
to the wallpaper you want to use. <property name="image-style"
type="int" value="6"/> tells it to span all monitors. Restart XFCE and
you should be met with your new wallpaper, it might change immediately I
can't remember. You'll notice I got the "GPU-0.DP-0" from your xorg.conf
and is your left most monitor.
