After a lot of trial and error the problem seems to be _where_ in the text
I put the \AddToShipoutPicture*. If I e.g. put it in the opening of my
koma-script letter the picture gets placed relative to the position of the
opening instead of relative to the upper left corner of the page. But
since the opening seems to be always at the same position this is not a
real problem.
Thanks for all your help,
Ragnar
