Fake blur background spans monitors, rather than duplicating #191

I know in the Wiki you say there's a limitation at the moment with having screens of different resolutions using the Fake blur setting. I'm creating this issue as a request.

I've turned fake blur on now, and it definitely speeds up my system. I've got two monitors, one 1080p and the other 1366x768. So, they're not the same resolution, which I know is the recommendation. It still works, though.

But it seems that the image being drawn behind is the wrong size, then. There's a light part around the middle of the image, that is going in between the two monitors, rather than in the middle of both. So the left half of the background is used for the blur on the left monitor, and the right half for the right monitor. Instead of it being duplicated for both. I'm not sure if this is intentional.

The blurred image I'm using is

There are two trees on the left, and one on the right, with a river in the middle, with a sunset. The right monitor is getting the one tree, and the left the two trees

Is the expectation to get one wallpaper that spans across the two screens, rather than duplicating the wallpaper on each? I was able to fix it by creating a combination of the two images inside Krita, and it looks right now, but I thought I'd mention this. It seems that there isn't a setting in KDE yet to create a wallpaper that spans monitors, and so making it work together with this might not be easy.
