You can take a look at the pdftex manual, since it uses the english
interface. The source can be found when you follow the pdftex link. I
only want to make sources public that are properly documented. (The big
old dutch interactive manual, btw. is cross linked to the source, when
finished I can consider that doing with the new one too).

Sure, 

\defineoverlay
  [somename]
  [{\externalfigure
      [somefile]
      [width=\overlaywidth,
       height=\overlayheight]}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=somename]

You can have many of them, actually in each area ([text][text] and so
on), also stacked: 

  background={somename,nextpage}

with \defineoverlay[nextpage][\overlaybutton{nextpage}]

I think I'll make a \overlayfigure{name} too that defaults to the
width/height. 

(currently I'm playing with foregrounds too, which is needed for
advanced graphics, spanning overlays.)
