I've done this...you just have to edit the appropriate .plist file. I
can't remember which one. Hrmmm... (Side note...I have this nagging
problem with the desktop pref pane, where my {stretch, center, etc.}
menu list disappears, don't even have a pulldown)
(path to "pref" as Unicode text) & "com.apple.desktop.plist"
try changing your setting from stretch to center, then do a search for
the last modified file (modified today, visiblity both invisible and
visible) and you will have a few to browse. Just look for the proper
key. I believe proper values are 'stretch', 'center', 'tile'.
In case it helps, these are the settings I have here for both System
Preferences and the .plist file (against 'Placement'). As Jake
suggests, it's worth checking the settings on your own system.
System Prefs : pList 'Placement'
------------- -----------------
Fill screen : Crop
Stretch to fill screen : FillScreen
Center : Centered
Tile : Tiled
