re sun ipx root window display background picture i m not sure if you got the information you were looking for so i ll post it anyway for the general public to load an image on your root window add this line to the end of your xsession file xloadimage onroot fullscreen gif file name this is assuming of course you have the xloadimage client and as for the switches i think they pretty much explain what is going on if you leave out the the terminal locks till you kill it you already knew that though hope this helps daemon
