**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Set up a virtual machine (e.g: Xubuntu with Xfce 4.16 in VirtualBox) with 2 or more monitors
2. Open "Desktop settings" dialog on the 1st monitor and select "Spanning screens" from the "Style:" menu
3. Open "Desktop settings" dialog on the 2nd monitor: changing the settings has no effect
**Suggested solution:** Disable the background settings dialog on the 2nd/3rd/etc screens if the "Spanning screens" style is activated.

Not really much to say here. The "spanning screens" option doesn't work. The image is scaled to fit the primary monitor and the other monitors continue to show whatever background is set for them. See screenshot.

desktop icons are placed in the upper right corner, outside visible area
Using 3 monitors with 1080p 1440p 1080p some desktop icons are outside the visible screen area when configuring the monitors xXx in the desktop app.
Using the same configuration with the monitors like "X" works just fine.
It is probably unclear what I mean so I'll up it another way. If the top of the right monitor is aligned with the top of the middle monitor then desktop icons show up just fine. If the bottom of the left monitor is aligned with the bottom of the middle monitor then desktop icons are placed outside the visible area.
A solution is obviously to align all the monitors with the top line and not the bottom.

It would be nice to have separate "Icons" settings for different screens (i.e. display :0.0 and :0.1). This is already the case for the "Background" settings, which have a tab for each screen.
