Never seen a 17" LCD do 1600x1200, only 20+" and the rare 19".
Now if you mean 17" CRT, yes, but never a 19" LCD have I seen such.

Yes, but it depends on the Manager.

GNOME's Nautilus allows a variety of objects, not just pixmaps like jpg,
but scalable vector graphics as well.  I'm sure HTML rendering is an
option too.  Anything that is a folder document can be the background.
Just never done it.

I'm sure KDE's Session/Konqueror file manager has something similar.

There is also ROX Filer, which is an OS/2 Workplace Shell-like
session/file manager with a lot of features.

Community software is all about choice, choice of technology.
Unfortunately, too many Linux advocates port over the so-called
"choice" from the commercial software world, brand name marketing.
The result is false assumptions, failure to focus on the real
technical similarities of implementations and blind alignments.
