FVWM: question about backgrounds

Hello, everyone,

I've been lurking for a while now, and have the following question:

I put a picture on the root window via the following:

xv -rmode 5 -quit -root ~/bgrounds/hchaos.png

I also start a transparent aterm via .xinitrc

now, the problem is that the transparent aterm doesn't acquire the root
image on startup. If I place it on the .xinitrc file, It acquires the gray
pattern typical of a plain X root window. If I place it on the .fvwm2rc
file, it catches a black background. I figure that this has to do with the
time that it takes to load the image, but I have no clue how to synchronize
or otherwise make sure that the aterm acquires the right background. Any
ideas on how could I solve this?
