There are 2 possibilities:
1. You set the background image in your .xsession script
add a line like 'xv -root -quit -viewonly picture.jpg'
This requires that you log in in such a way that your .xsession file i
executed (Xession in Gnome's login manager f.ex.)
Then you will also have to start the WM in this script (should be the last
thing started, WITHOUT &... like 'exec fvwm2'
Remember .xsession must have 'x' permission flag set...
2. Using FvwmBacker module
You can also use the background module to get different backgrounds on
different desks (and pages)
Then you will have to start this module from your .fvwm2rc
like so:
AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmButtons
+ "I" Module FvwmBacker
AddToFunc RestartFunction "I" Module FvwmButtons
+ "I" Module FvwmBacker
(I think it would work with just one function called 'StartFunction'
here...)
And later in your .fvwm2rc specify what FvwmBacker should do:
F.ex. I have like this (to set different images for each desk (0,1,2,3 I
have as symlinks so it's easy to change them...)
It's also possible to specify individual pages here (use 'man FvwmBacker'
for more info..)
*FvwmBacker: Command (Desk 0) Exec xv -root -quit -viewonly -rbg red
+noresetroot $HOME/.fvwm/backdrops/0
*FvwmBacker: Command (Desk 1) Exec xv -root -quit -viewonly -rbg red
+noresetroot $HOME/.fvwm/backdrops/1
*FvwmBacker: Command (Desk 2) Exec xv -root -quit -viewonly -rbg red
+noresetroot $HOME/.fvwm/backdrops/2
*FvwmBacker: Command (Desk 3) Exec xv -root -quit -viewonly -rbg red
+noresetroot $HOME/.fvwm/backdrops/3
