I have been looking for a utility to paste a picture onto the desktop on
my LC for a while and rejoiced when I found DeskPicture in Now Utilities 2.0.3

After selecting a nice Escher GIF which I converted to a pict (via Giffer)
I used Deskpicture to paste it to the desktop. It looked really good (even
on the 4 bit video as I don;t yet have enough VRAM to go to 8 and after
deskpicture scaled it to fit).

Imagine my dissappointment when I changed the bit depth of the monitor - *BOOM*

Mac completely frozen - restart.

Oh, I thought, must be an INIT clash or similar. I turned of *everything* except
Deskpicture and Depthguage. I again changed the bit depth - *BOOM*.

Aha! Depthguage is buggy. Remove it and restart.  Use monitors in control panel
to change bit depth - *BOOM*. SH*T.

Reason that Deskpicture does not have enough memory to work with. Use heaptool
to increase stack size by 256k. Restart and gain try to change bit 
depth - *BOOM*.

Conclusion: Deskpicture (a) Doesn't work properly with multibit images, or
			(b) Doesn't work so well with LC's

As the gif was originally 8 bit and displayed ok on the 4 bit setting I 
would tend to discount (a).

Any suggestions??
