Re: Background image for a window

[Chris Debenham - PTS Engineer <Chris Debenham Sun Com>]

Hmm, I can set the bg for the widget as well, but I can't rely on a patched
module install since this will be used on end-user machines (running
different distros, gtk2-perl versions etc)
Is there any other way?

thanks,
Chris
