I have come across a way to load GIF's as your desktop wallpaper in Windows
3.0. Basically you need a .BMP file to do this, which can be converted using
a couple of utilities.

GCP 4.2 (available from compuserve or other ftp sites) can convert a GIF to
PC paintbrush .PCX files. From this point you can use Windows Paintbrush to
load the .PCX file and save as .BMP file.

The rest is easy.
