this is why background pixmaps are generally a bad idea for xterms... The
font for the text is too fine, and tends to be out of contrast with ANY
texture that the image might have. If you really want to look for an
image... look for one that doesn't have much detail, doesn't change color
much, and that contrasts well with the color of your font.
