Well I cannot speak for Mr. Vickery, but I was talking about the little 
button that was visible when you chose an image to become your desktop 
background in Gnome, this button gave you the options of 
Fill.....Center.....Tile......Span......Stretch etc the image you chose. 
It seems that as of F18 that's al changed? or was it changed within an 
update, because I seem to recall being able to do it! But with the 
button gone, when you select a picture, there's no way to scale it or 
stretch it or ANYTHING....all you have is the picture, and if it's not 
displayed properly you're pretty much "fluffed"!....
