You also had to modify your page config file:
*PagerXPM setting is no longer valid, instead you should use:
*PagerDesktopImage - this one specifies background image for the desktop
*PagerImage - this one specifies small image that you want to appear in
Pager's window.
read README.new_options for more details, also check out man Pager and
supplied pager config file.
your old pager config will not work also becouse
in 1.4 PagerXPM used to point to /non-configurable/desk0/background
which is not valid for 1.5

AfterStep will be setting background for you :).
It also now supports JPEG image format.
