Sorry but XMLmind XSL-FO Converter does not support the background-image 
property. This limitation is documented in 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html (search for 
"background-image").

This is standard XSL-FO. See the fo:simple-page-master child elements 
and attributes found in attached sample XSL-FO files. Notice how the 
size and position of the headers and footers vastly differ in the RTF 
files generated out of sample1.fo and sample2.fo.
