If my memory is correct, I experimented (some time ago) with a network in the "sample" dx directory that put a logo type image in the corner of another image. You might want to hunt around there.
Screen objects seem to carry a layer of mystery. I found that out a couple months ago when I posted a question about how to place a given colorbar in more than one image location (I didn't want to re-create the colorbar object just to give it a new position). I finally got my problem solved (thanks go to David Thompson), but it seemed to open up a can of screen-object worms.
