Ah well, anyway, 1024px is the most common width size; so anywhere from 950-1000px display size with backgrounds around 1600-1800px
That sounds awfully complicated.

Why not just remember to keep your width at 1000px or less so you avoid horizontals on 1024x768's, and then make a small seamless repeating bg so you don't even need to worry about whether your bg is going to be an issue. Making a fixed size bg (whatever the size is) is always going to be a problem somewhere for someone. Just eliminate that issue up front.
