You mean the "root" window? There are a bunch: "asroot", which is part
of afterstep, "display" which is part of ImageMagick..., but my
favorite, for this purpose is "xli --onroot --fullscreen"; "xli" is
the name of the package. "xli" can only do png/jpeg/gif; "display" is
probably the only one of those that can do tiff's.
