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 -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
