The thing is: the trick consists usually of having a way to get a copy 
of the pixmap.  If you just stick the pixmap on the X root window, you 
can not fetch it.  So, the trick is to create the pixmap and keep a
pointer on the X server to allow gnome-terminal and Eterm to get their 
hands on it.

That is what esetroot and what the gnome control center do.
