   I like chbg, unrelated to fvwm, you don't have to have your WM to
change the root window picture. There are other programs as well (check
your distro or freshmeat), you can start any of them from X startup
scripts (probably ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession)

   there's also FvwmBacker module that makes it possible to have
different backgrounds on different virtual screens
