Still a totally usable resolution. ;)

Yes! See if you can find i3-scrot somewhere. It's a little easier to use. Holler if you can't find it.

Put stuff in ~/.Xsession.
For wallpaper, you can use feh or nitrogen, or just something like Xbackground??? I'm not running X11 on here, so I'm having to go on memory.
Xrandr will write a file that you can source like a shell script, IIRC

man zzz or man apm. Search the web for 'suspend when closing lid "NetBSD"'

Gkrellm??

Try alt-drag or super/meta-drag inside a window to see if you can grab and move it past the screen edges. Otherwise consult the WM docs.

Where do I configure keeping the set wallpaper and screen resolution size?

Can't seem to figure out sleep. Closing the laptop lid does nothing.

A battery icon or some type of notifier would be nice.

Using Firefox Nightly and sometimes dialogue boxes extend passed the edges of the screen.
