I have two monitors on my computer, how can I set a different wallpaper to each. I don't use workspaces, two screens are enough. I know it's possible to set a different wallpaper to each workspace but I can't find anything on individual screens. It is a laptop, but I have two graphic cards running SLI mode so both monitors are running off of the first.

This has been a problem since years. Manually create a big image with GIMP - that's the only solution for now.

Install and use a program called nitrogen. Its in the repos, has a nice GUI, and will allow you to do what you want.
