to do the former, just put the picture into your wallpapers directory
and select it, then tell the system to run it one time, centered. you
can then choose the color or colors you want for the background
"frame."
to do the latter, you'll need to pull up an image editor -- the one
in staroffice isn't awful -- and paste the smaller picture atop the
larger one in the place you want, then save it under a third name.
for it to be a good background, you'll want to make it the same size
as your desktop -- 800x600 or whatever; at least make sure that the
ratio is 4:3 (the 1280x1024 people are s.o.l., but that's what they
get for not running 1280x960).
