Several things. The best answer depends on what window manager you're
running. Several include built-in support to directly place an image
in your root window (that's Unix parlance for `wallpaper').
You could also use the `xv' program, which will handle a number of
image formats:
xv -root -quit <filename>
Or try xpmroot for X pixmaps
xpmroot <filename>
Or xsetroot for bitmaps:
xsetroot -bitmap <filename>
Just put these lines in the appropriate setup file in your home
directory (typically .xinitrc or .xsession).
