An xpm as buffer background

An xpm as buffer background

[cp]

Hi!

I am using GNU Emacs 21.[12].

I would like to set an image as buffer background.
So far I tried to set the x resource *.attributeStipple to the image path, and
tried the set-face-background-image lisp function with no success.

My emacs is compiled with XPM support.

Any ideas what did I do wrong?

Thanks:

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 :-)
