In each style there is usually a line that looks like this:
        rootCommand: bsetbg <whatever>

After 'rootCommand:' can be anything, but usually it's the bsetbg program that
comes with Blackbox. Type 'bsetbg -h' for it's usage.

Or, you can remove that line and add something like this to your .xinitrc or
.Xsession:
        bsetbg <options> <image> &

'bsetbg' is just a shell script that calls xv, wmsetbg, esetroot, or Image
Magick's display, depending on the one selected in your '.bsetbgrc' file.

This should help...
