Hi Michael,
It's been a long time, but I think the tactic I used was to copy your
background image to your disk image and then in a terminal, type:
cd disk-image-dir
mv background.png .background.png
ln -s .background.png background.png
Set the background by choosing the background.png file. It will
automatically resolve the symbolic link, so then you can delete the
link and leave the hidden PNG there.
rm background.png
Not sure how to make your folder's dimensions stick.
Hope that helps,
