Well, I'm no X programmer, but what about brute-forcing it? Let bsetroot do whatever it wants to the root window, then capture that window as a pixmap and save/set it in the same manner Esetroot does? What does good ol' xsetroot do?
Doesn't there have to be a bitmap SOMEWHERE in the X server? If I set a gradient, it's not like the video hardware is doing that on it's own, because I can overlay it with a window and when I move the window, the background is restored.
