Start that program _after_ gnome-session has painted the root window.
Then it won't be stomped on unless you change gnome's background in
the control center. (or just wait until xplanet updates the
background (if you use xplanetbg) and then it will overwrite the gnome
background)
OTOH there may be a way to tell gnome not to touch the root window,
but I don't recall such.
Or just don't run gnome-session. (I am using this alternative now
because I want a lighter-weight setup)
