    Description

      After reading the Google Docs memo and seeing that this was one of the raised points for a 0.4 release I'm working on improving desk.cpl:

      • Make it look a bt more like the original dialog, with similar dimensions and positioning for controls.
      • Re-do the bitmap of the preview monitor surrounding the actual desktop background, current one is old and dithered (Important: retain the PONY mark).
      • Consistently use the monitor bitmap as a frame for the rest of tabs (Appearance, Resolution, ...).

      That's mostly it.
