For people unclear on the background.pixmap concept

Folks,

After upgrading to Fluxbox 0.9.15.1, I'm trying to figure out the new
background regime. I've got a photo I'd like to use with a particular
style, but when I change to that style, the previous photo remains as
my wallpaper. I've played with different settings in the init file,
including, but not limited to:

session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -l (then commented the line out,
then removed the -l, etc)

The background image still doesn't change. 

I took a shot at incorporating the new background command in the
style file of interest:

background.pixmap:  /home/~/Backgrounds/thisimage.jpg

Yes, I recognize it's not a pixmap, but if backgroud.pixmap now sends
info to fbsetbg, it seemed the only command to use. 

And of course, I tried fbsetbg as a stand-alone command in the style
file. Still nuthin'. I suspect I've overlooked something painfully
obvious, but I'm desperate enough to endure the humiliation ;-)

Any hints as to how to associate a photo with a style anymore?

Best,

Pete
