That is the most ugly part about it - I take the pictures, get the screen
rectangles, transform the pictures accordingly and stitch them together to
a huge picure of the virtual xinerama screen size. Then it is rendered onto
the root window and each monitor (as a view onto the virtual huge screen
size) shows the wallpaper I put into its rectangle.
