....name a good reason why any web-developer would want to do that?

Windows development, fine, but not webdev.


I'm not talking simple web pages here I'm talking actual web application where just like in windows programming the gui could change depending on the screen resolution.  Some gui components may be hidden by default to avoid scrolling for instance.

But just to dumb it down for you, if there were a background image that was displayed based on screen resolution.
