Description rugby471 2009-08-24 06:40:10 UTC 
This bug has been reported at Launchpad:

In the Backgrounds tab of the Appearance Preferences, we have a few options on a backgrounds "style". Of those options we have "Tiled" "Zoom" "Centered" "Scaled" and "Fill Screen"

Arguably "Zoom", "Tile", and "Fill Screen" all fill the screen. "Tile" is pretty obvious, "Fill Screen" stretches the image to fill the screen, and "Zoom" zooms in on the image until it fills the screen.

Perhaps "Fill Screen" should be renamed "Stretch"

Also these names don't seem to match up in their verb tense, so the final strings should be:

"Tile", "Zoom", "Center", "Scale", and "Stretch"
