There may be other ways to do this that I'm not aware of;

afaik the theme engine does not support this (all images
are scaled to fit the widget backgrounds afaik; using
engine "pixbuf" that is).

One thing I do know you can do is:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Windows.html#gdk-window-set-back-pixmap

Which is originally an X semantic I believe; but as a part of GDK,
must be portable anyway.
