I just tried your patch, thanks for your work. However, it totally breaks with Gnome under X.org 6.8.1 (which I'm using on my ppc since XFree 4.3 has poor iBook support). After setting the background, I either get a totally black screen (the windows are still functional, though), or the qiv window including decorations remains on screen (although the process is already gone); the decorations are even still operable. Can you please try this under Gnome and update your patch? Thanks!
