 In the preamble:
 
 \newcommand\BackgroundPicture[3]{%

   \put(0,\strip@pt\paperheight){%
   \parbox[t]{\paperwidth}{%
 \vspace*{#2}\hspace*{#3}%

 In the text
 \AddToShipoutPicture*{\BackgroundPicture{foo.eps}{1in}{2in}} will put
 the picture 1 inch from the top, and 2 inch from the left edge of the
 paper.

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.

You're right. I have no problem until I insert \usepackage{apacite}

Re: Bibtex problem

  I downloaded the apacite style fron CTAN and found a small but nasty buglet:
  When there are a couple of authors there is a colon too much in the citation
  before the '', e.g. (Hahlweg, Klann,  Hank, 1992). Unfortunately the email
  that the authour gives in the manual isn't valid anymore . Is this something
  that I can correct myself easily?

As far as I know, the '' should be preceded by a comma, so this is not a bug!

I looked it up and you're right. So this is a problem only when I want to use
this style for a german article. I hope I can fix it.

yes, you can, but it's not easy. have a look at
