Well, if you don't post the commands you tried I cannot say what's wrong
with them, but this works for me:

  colorset 10 tiledpixmap <imagefile>, tint green 25, bgtint red 50
  *FvwmBacker: Command (Desk *) colorset 10

Yes.

You mean a program that changes the pixmap on the fly and sets is as
the backgound?  Probably not.
