! You can right now also use jpeg as background when you use xv (or better
! xli or xloadimage) to load the picture and not the pager. You just need to 
! comment out the respective parts of the pager config file and to put into
! your ~/G/L/A/autoexec file something like:
! Exec "I" xv -root -quit file.jpg or (if supported)
! Exec "I" xli -onroot file.jpg
!

	While doing this will show the background, when you change
desks/views with the Pager, your changes will not be kept.
