the idea may be heretical, but i've added a '-w' option to rio that
draws an image from an uncompressed image(6) file on the "root
window".  it expects an image the same dimensions as the screen and
(can't|won't) cope with repainting the background when rio is running
in a window smaller than the image, but that's okay.

the beauty is that even a halfwit like me could figure it out in less
than an hour.  :)

my background images are various black & white photos from the library
of congress "american memory" collection, mostly of steam trains.
