I just downloaded backdrop from sumex in the hopes that it would
enable me to use a nice PICT image as my desktop image. With backdrop
in the System Folder along with a StartupScreen, the screen only shows
during startup, and then the normal desktop drawing overwrites it.

Now, I realize I'm in a rather bizarre environment: An SE/30 running
System 7.0 with an external color monitor set as the menu-bar and
startup device. One or more of these factors may be why it does not
work. If anyone has suggestions or pointers to alternative solutions,
I'd appreciate them.
