If you are setting your background with a program external to 
blackbox, blackbox does not know about that background. For example, 
if you see a cool graphic and download it and run

qiv -root CoolPic.png

Your background will not be present when you restart. To make 
that happen you will need to do one of two things. Make a custom 
style (see the man page, blackbox) or edit the current style 
you are using to load the graphic you want. Look for the line 
that begins with the word "rootCommand" and set this to be 
something like

bsetbg -full CoolPic.png

Remember to include the path to the file.
