pong... tried it this morning on the train into the office and yep, it
worked.
I have it doing the following:

my $pixbuf_loader = Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufLoader->new();
$pixbuf_loader->set_size($config->{'Width'},$config->{'Height'});
eval { $pixbuf_loader->write($row->{'data'}); };
eval { $pixbuf_loader->close() };
my $pixbuf=$pixbuf_loader->get_pixbuf();
$pixbuf->save($globals->{'bg_file'},'png');
my $rc_style = Gtk2::RcStyle->new;
$rc_style->bg_pixmap_name ('normal', $globals->{'bg_file'});
$window->modify_style ($rc_style);

Loads the image fine, scales it to screen size then displays.

Thanks
  Chris
