I have a setup in my config file that dynamically generates a menu
with backrounds, including thumbnails. The selected background is
remembered over a restart. It expects to find the images in
$HOME/.fvwm/backgrounds/ and stores the last selected background
in the file $HOME/.fvwm/background. The backgrounds must be named
<somename>.bg.<extension>
e.g.
marble.bg.jpg
and must be in a format understood by xv, which is used to set the
backgorund. The thumbnails that are used in the menu must be in
xpm format and be named
<somename>.thumb.xpm
e.g.
marble.thumb.xpm
(with the same name as the big image, of course)
Bye
