I used to do this by using the "rootCommand" config setting for fbpager
(or fluxter):

fbpager.workspace0.rootCommand: xsetbg /path/to/image1.png
fbpager.workspace1.rootCommand: xsetbg /path/to/image2.png

I stopped doing this because it took a noticeable part of a second for
each workspace change.  Something to do with having to parse a large
.png file every time...
