You can do a LOT w/ xdm.  I've seen people have a runnable version of
xanim in the xdm login.  That said I haven't messed about w/ wdm since the
last time I tried it (a long time ago) it wouldn't compile, even out of
ports!  I know it's worked since then, but I haven't mucked w/ it.

If you just want that image head over to:

You could also take a splash screen, convert from bmp, and use it instead:
