Anybody knows if you can put an animated gif as a desktop picture? I know that you can do that in windoze, but I wonder if it is possible in OSX....

You can't (as far as I know). You could make the frames different images and let the Fnder rotate them.

Theoretically, you could do it with a screensaver that can play QuickTime-supported media and one of those screensaver-as-background enablers...
