Color Image in buffer/face/frame background

[Szabó Péter]

Hi!

[I already made some posts to the newsgroup, but they did not seem to make
it to the list.
So I'd like to apologise if this is not the first time you see this 
message :-)]

I am using emacs 21.[12] under XFree, and it would be nice, if I could 
set a color
picture as buffer/frame background.
I found set-face-background-pixmap, but that only worked with bitmaps (2 
color
XMB files).
I know this is just eye candy, but it would be nice to have a paper like 
effect in
the text background :-)

So my question is:
   Is is possible to do this with current versions of emacs?  If yes, how?

Yours:
   Péter
