OK. Not sure how that corresponds to my 1.4.2+dfsg-2 versioning (newer/older). But I presume it's just a packaging change between -19 and -19 that has broken things. > Fortunately there are no dependencies on tkimg.

There is no error message - they just don't load. Correct. Which is why that package is only 'recommended' (i.e install by default, but don't require) in the Debian packaging. And if you make your background images as .pbm (portable bitmap) then they work fine without this package (which adds support for 'newfangled' formats like .png and .jpeg :-) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
