DesktopX messes with background

from Stardock Forums
I'm using dual monitor backgrounds from Digital Blasphemy. For them to work correctly, the background needs to be set to tile. When I'm not running DX, they work just fine. They span the two monitors with something different on each monitor. When I run DX, either in client mode or in builder mode, it seems to take the background and "stretch" it, which in this case is really squish. I don't have any background selected in my DX them and have selected tile anyway. It doesn't seem to matter. Is there some other setting somewhere I'm missing?

Thanks,
Mark

I tried that. Nothing worked. I don't actually want DX to set the background, so I don't have it setting anything, but I tried adjusting some of the other settings anyway. It needs to be set to tile for the background to display correctly, so I tried setting DX to that even though I don't have it actually set the background.

Did you uncheck Use Background? And then se the background normally through windows?

Yes. When DX is not running, the background looks correct: it spans both monitors. When DX is running, the same background is squished twice, once on each monitor, even though I'm telling DX not to set any background.

Try changing the settings and saving as a new theme. {And yes, I am reaching for straws until someone who knows something steps in)
