The lock screen and the log on screen can be changed, but there looks to be no way to span 2 monitors with a dual screen wallpaper, so it's pointless for dual screen users. This was so easy to do in XP with registry edit as shown here,
for XP
hkey_users\.default\control panel\desktop
tilewallpaper = 1
wallpaper = whatever.bmp
So the only question is how can you accomplish this in Windows 7?
Here is the Windows 7 log on screen. You can clearly see my mouse on the secondary monitor. The lock screen looks and acts identical.

You say you've looked into this - would you be willing to go into detail about why it's not possible?
The other monitors are clearly on and active, since you can see your cursor on them (even a custom cursor). The OS is mapping cursor movement and outputting display data to those screens.
What is it about they way it's set up that prevents this from being possible?
[Note, I'm not asking this to demand you try harder, I'm asking because "It can't be done" is all that ever gets said. If I knew why I could put it to bed a little better.]
