Re: setting a backround in X

[Shaleh <shaleh@livenet.net>]

Yes you need the xv package.  It is in non-free.  yuck (-:  if you have
GNOME installed then you can grab electric eyes and do the same thing. 
Or you can install chameleon (it is in Slink).  chameleon will also set
the background of X for you (it too needs GTK).  Hope this helps.

chameleon, electric eyes, or xv will read almost any format.  jpeg, png,
gif, whatever.
