 It would be nice if we would be able to set the relative position of the
 background and icons to any corner or any side of the window.

 Example for the background: I want to set the Haiku logo relative to the
 bottom and the right side of the screen at 100px. So, the background image
 will be at the (screen height-100-image height)x(screen width-100-image
 width) position in all screen resolution.

 Now in Haiku the wallpaper and the icons are in a predefined xy location.
 If I use the Haiku (from an USB stick) on more PCs the monitors may have
 different resolutions. I use a desktop PC with a HD monitor and the Trash
 is at the right-bottom corner. If I got a smaller monitor with low
 resolution, we may not see the Trash or the full background (like as the
 default Haiku logo). After I go to another PC with a high resolution
 monitor, than the Trash icon will be at another position (the xy position
 will be the same as on the monitor with lower resolution was).

 I have attached a screenshot for the better understand.
