Bug description
I typically use my laptop with two monitors: the built in one (approximately 4K) and an external 1080p display. I use fractional scaling to set a different scaling factor per monitor (built-in at 200% and external at 100%). This usually causes the desktop wallpaper to go black. Once, it didn't completely go black and the wallpaper got shifted around strangely instead (caused it to span both monitors and was misaligned with black bars on one side on each display).
Steps to reproduce
Connect two monitors with different DPIs to the system.
Enable fractional scaling (beware the weirdness that already comes with that).
Set a different scaling factor for one monitor.
Desktop wallpaper goes black or gets shifted.
Expected behavior
Wallpaper properly refits to each screen as normal.
Additional information
I am using a Microsoft Surface Book with the linux-surface 6.8.8 kernel.
