I tried something: non-centered burning sulfur (SVG, PNG preview and 
splash.xpm.gz). I am not very happy with dithering, even after I heavily 
  edited the results but the aspect ratio problem does not look that bad 
to me with it.

Another try was without the flame, as it was a source of inconvenient 
light pixels, it needed a lot less tweaking after dithering.

Of course *I can* see the pixels in both on my 20" widescreen display 
and further pixel tweaking is still possible.
