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. -- Eric G. Miller Powered by the POTATO (http://www.debian.org)!
