Update :-)

The above two work fine for xbm-s (not xpm-s).  Unfortunately xbm-s can only 
contain two colors (I should have guessed from the name), which is not enough 
for a paper like effect :-(

So my question has changed to the following: what should I do to make my 
emacs support indexed/rgb images as buffer/face background.
 
Thanks for your time in advance :-)
