Comment (by jstressman):

 Tried it with the TIFF version of the image ( 270.76MB )... first I tried
 loading it in ShowImage and it said there wasn't an available translator
 or something for it... so I loaded the smaller TIFF of the same image (
 5788x2000, 33.13MB ) and that loaded fine.

 Then I tried loading the full size TIFF again and it loaded as a 1x1 pixel
 image in ShowImage...

 So then I tried loading it as a background... at that point everything
 went terribly wrong. A debugger flashed up on the screen and took down
 part of the system... so you could still navigate workspaces by clicking
 on the WorkSpaces app, but keyboard navigation didn't work... Deskbar and
 Tracker didn't work... you could still move and focus windows etc... but
 when you tried to type, only some letters showed up in a box on the left
 side of the screen... I ended up having to hard reset the machine. :/
