For full-screen wallpaper, I need 1280x1024.  I never bother though because
only a tiny bit of desktop ever shows out from around my many open windows.

You could post the POV source and let people render it at whatever size they
want.  Also, Windows has a way to load JPG images as desktop wallpaper, and
I think that's part of the "themes" package.  So maybe it won't be much of a
problem--just include JPG of each common screen size, at 100 - 250K each.
