Also try installing graphics/xv (xv -root -quit image_file.png)
Or installing x11/eterm will give you the Esetroot command,
And installing x11-wm/blackbox will give you the bsetroot
command.
Probably there are dozens or scores of other ways (firefox
tells me it has the capability, though I have not tried it) but
xsetroot is a good start, and has the advantage of coming
with the xorg 6.9 distribution.
