I'm probably the last one to figure this one out. I have a picture of Christina Stürmer as my desktop background. I have dual monitors; so naturally, it shows the same on both monitors.
Originally, I went into Display Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop, Web, and added a new image. I would put the new image on the second monitor, expand it to fit the screen, and then lock the Web items on Desktop. This works fine in most cases. If you were to remote desktop connect, though, it moves your web items around because of the dual-monitor setup.
It occured to me, why not go into Gimp and paste the two images together. Since each monitor is 1600x1200, I opened one image and opened the second as a layer. I moved the second to fit to the right of the first, making sure both were scaled to 1600 x 1200. I saved the image and flattened the layers to 3200 x 1200.
Go to Display Properties, Desktop, select the dual image, and set it to Tile.
