Kristin:

Xubuntu prioritizes individual backdrop displays. For instance, when my 
laptop is connected to an external monitor, I have four different 
backgrounds being used

Workplace 1
laptop display   external monitor

Workspace 2
laptop display   external monitor

To have the same background on all displays, go to Settings Manager | 
Desktop for each display possibility and set the same background for 
each display.

It is obviously easier to right click on Desktop Settings when the mouse 
pointer is showing on the display you want toset.
