Not easily; by using a bitmap, you'd have a pattern.

Does this mean that ImageMagick is installed? (See below.)

Almost all packaging systems have similar problems. The best I have used

My faq also lists wmsetbg and XV, with an example:
xv -root -quit -max -smooth ~/blackbox/styles/LoveHewett/Love1.jpg

I am sure you can find many more tools via freshmeat.
