Hi,

I can access all preferences through the menu entries Desktop --> 
Preferences. I can change my desktop background there, as well as my 
screen resolution. Isn't that pretty much in one place? ;)

Putting it in the same dialog doesn't even make sense to me because the 
desktop background doesn't really have to do anything with the screen 
resolution except for that you can choose it.

Don't you have the "Desktop Background" entry in your Preferences?

Cheers,
Dave
