It's not exactly the same. Maxpect method scales up the image until _one_ of
the side gets to the maximum size of the desktop. While the other one will be
shorter than the screen.
This other method scales the image up, until _both_ sides are equal or bigger
than the desktop size. The advantage is that you get no empty spaces on
screen.
see this photo as example:

It clearly shows the difference between maxpect and this method. Also if you
can see the scale method, that one distorts the image (although that's not
very clear in this photo)
