If you are using the Debian hooks setup to set up fvwm2 then if you
have a link or file ~/.fvwm2/background.xpm then fvwm2 will
automatically put that file on your background.  It uses the function 
/usr/bin/setup-background.  Which calls either 

xpmroot <xpmfile>
xsetbg <gif or jpg file>

See /usr/doc/fvwm2/README.sysrc.gz
