I think the original poster is asking how to make a picture the PERMANENT
desktop.  If so, I think what you need is called backdrop.  I don't have it,
but I know that its on sumex.  It is an INIT file and will put up any MacPant
or StartUp format disk as your desktop(which will remain displayed till the
next reboot)

Hope this helps.
