Most of the replies here about problems using large .BMPs as wallpaper
seem to say that it
a)- works in standard mode, and
b)- works with slightly smaller pictures

Unfortunately, I differ in both cases. I have tried installing some
640x480x256 pictures as backgrounds (in center of screen), while running
in 1024x768x256 mode, and even this crashes if the file is larger than
about 260k. Some files- smaller than 260k- worked fine, evn when tiled.
	In addition, I tried starting windows up in standard mode with a
1024x768x256 BMP file as a desktop, and this failed too. Maybe there is
a connection between this and the fact that my BMP size limit seems to
be about 260k, instead of 470k and 700k, as reported by others?
