To make the image "physically" smaller so that it is not to big when used as a 
background, do this:

- Load the image in GIMP
- Right click on the image.
- Navigate the menu to Image->Scale Image...
- The dialog box shows you the original width and height.  Put in a new width 
value, like 800.  Or something less than the original.
- Click OK
- Save the image, presumably under a new name

All done.
