Iain:
I have not gotten it to work, simply because I haven't had time to try
-- I got to work this morning to face a MOUNTAIN of projects and 4
classes to teach :) I will be working on it later on (when later on is,
im no sure)
I tried in the past to resize the image in gimp, and the image came
through, but was badly distored (colors) In that case I had used the
2004 splash (I think it was) -- I tried that a couple months ago
