Use this command to see how the image is rendered:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options

and this command to change the rendering option:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options OPTION

where OPTION can be one of the following values:

none, wallpaper, centered, scaled, stretched, zoom, spanned.

For example, to set a wallpaper with zoom option:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options zoom

HTH,
Germán.
