First, make a large resolution wallpaper, then you can scale it down to smaller resolutions. Usually the largest i see is 1600x1200 which is a 4:3 ratio. Just remember to fix the image for widescreen aspect ratios of 16:9 and beyond. Or make a 1600x1200 version, as well as a 1400x1050 version, then just scale those down.

i recommend just making it at 1650x1200, that way you can scale it to cover every commend resolution
1600x1200
1650x1050
1280x1024
1440x900
1280x800
1024x768

that means everyones covered (well cept those people with huge plasma flatscreens, but they are a very small minority)
