But doesn't that mean that if someone chooses to ignore your advice to
set their screen to 800 x 600, the relative positions of everything goes
haywire? Or if they open their "favourites" or "history" panel. Or use
an obscure browser such as Fresco. Or use WebTV. Or print the page out
with "print background" enabled.

Wouldn't it perhaps be better to make the bar title and the two plates
separate from the background, and place them so that they adjust their
position sensibly when the display conditions vary (e.g. by using an
invisible table to hold everything)?

An additional advantage to removing foreground objects from the
background is that you might be able to re-use some of the components on
other pages, and significantly reduce the amount of graphic reloading
when changing page.
