[XeTeX] xetex tiles incorrectly with the wallpaper package

[Peter Baker]

Okay--thanks for pointing me to the log file. There was indeed another 
xetex.def in the system (in the texmf-local tree), which for some reason 
was not turned up by the locate utility. My thinking wasn't TeXy enough: 
I should have used kpsewhere, which shows both copies of the file. I 
edited the other one, and now wallpaper behaves perfectly.

Thanks for the help, and thanks to all the developers for the good work 
on XeTeX!
