xroot will do the job in an .xession file. But! You can configure IceWM
to always set it.  In the directory ~/.icewm, there will be a file
called preferences (if you have neither, just create them). In it you
need a line like:
DesktopBackgroundImage="/path/to/some/background/image.xpm"

There are a couple tools to configure icewm, icepref and iceconf.
Neither works perfectly, but they'll get you started.  Then refer to
the icewm documentation (it's pretty short) for other settings.
