Placing an image on the GNOME background

[Bill Moseley]

In simpler times, I had a script I stared in .xsession that simply did
this every few minutes:

    GET http://sv.berkeley.edu/view/images/current_view.jpg \
        | display -window root -geometry +1650+000 -

Which was a black background with the image off to the right on my
IceWM desktop.


I have moved to a new machine with a display size of 3280 x 1200.
I like my current desktop background image, but I have plenty of room
so I'd like to add a few images that update often also on the desktop.
But, I want them to be in a fixed position and without any window
decorations.

Any suggestions?
