there are two tools that i know of in DSL--could be more--bsetbg and xsri. Both of them actually use xsri, but bsetbg allows a simpler command, and works with additional apps.

You can set a background image at any time with the command
bsetbg -f /path/to/image

If you want to automatically load a particular image with a particular style, copy that style into /home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles and edit the "rootcommand" line in the style file.

If you want to automatically load a specific image to use no matter what the style, add that rootcommand line to /home/dsl/.fluxbox/init

bsetbg might actually be bsetroot...can't remember which is in DSL
