Making a fixed size bg (whatever the size is) is always going to be a problem somewhere for someone. Just eliminate that issue up front.

i disagree, if you know what you are doing, you don't have to be limited only to 1000pix wide frame presentation. we keep main content within 1000 pixels wide but appreciate extra space on sides for decorative purposes. no horizontal scroll issues and you can do lots interesting layered over effects, doesn't necessary have to be big in proportions.
