It's not Giffer's fault -- it's colordesk's, I think. If ColorDesk is anything
like zDeskPict (the one I use) then it stretches any pict you use to fill your
desktop. So the way to avoid this is to make your pict already be the size of
your desktop. (ie. screen...)

Actually, that's true... it's just too bad you can't turn it off...
