With regard to the wallpaper. Every machine will require the file of the background or screen saver to be saved on the local machine. More than likely the XP machines do not have this.

The logging off of the user when the (network I assume) cable is unplugged is a bit of a tough one. Furthermore if a machine has a failed network card you kind of make supporting this machine a bit of a problem. I would suggest what you do here is apply a Windows Firewall GPO that blocks all incoming and outgoing traffic when the machine is not connected to your LAN.

With regard to securing your network, well there are a host of settings in the GPO. A couple basics would be to ensure users are not local administrators on the PC's. You can turn of cached credentials so users have to login to the domain. Just understand the impact of what you are doing, you could make life hell for laptop users.
