I stand corrected.
Though I _did_ read the man page. But not carefully enough, my logic somehow
tricked me to think that +option sets the option ON, and -option set option
OFF. And aterm worked the other way around... So I thought that aterm wasn't
working right and blamed Blackbox for that. Stupid me.
And the background image thingie doesn't seem to work with my rpm
distribution of aterm. Guess it isn't compiled in...

Well, I tried that also (as I stated in my original message). Now I got it
working, again the reason for my previous failure being my lazy reading
habits and illogical way of thinking:
When I try bsetroot -bg white, it complains that I've to use -solid also. So
I try bsetroot -bg white -solid and nothing happens. I gave up. For somehow
I failed to realise that I should define the colour *again* after -solid.
And I would get white background even if I typed bsetroot -bg red -solid
white.
Yes, I should read the documentation more carefully. Sorry for the waste of
bandwidth.
Someone mentioned bsetbg, where can I find that? At least my locate command
did not find it from my hard disk...
