An another solution is adding another playfield on the WB.
I've done it but the main problems are:
	1) limitation on colors : only two colors allowed by Dual-Playfield
in this case
	2) since CLI/WB windows are using baackground color 0, the picture
will appear in front of everything, even the windows  (they are transparent
according to dual-playfield priority).
In conclusion: not a satisfactory solution.--
