Question 6.6 in the FAQ:
6.6 How do I set the background with fvwm?
A: Setting the background image is not really part of the window
manager. If you are using one of the Linux distributions,
most likely, some part of the distribution is setting the background
for you.
There is a program shipped with fvwm (fvwm-root, previously known as
xpmroot) that you can use to set the background to XPM or PNG image.
Other programs like "xv", "xli", "xloadimage", and "display" may be
used too, they support some image formats that fvwm-root does not.
If you just want a static image on your background, you might invoke
one of these programs from your .xsession or .xinitrc file. You can
also invoke one of these programs from the InitFunction in your
.fvwm2rc.
The fvwm module FvwmBacker can be used to change the background
depending on the desk you are currently on.
