I tried to put a background changing script in .xinitrc but I only see the background for a second before the standard background loads up.  What loads the standard background?

The fluxbox style usually loads a new background.  You can remove the "rootcommand" line from your chosen style, or run your script after fluxbox loads, but the most convenient thing would probably be to add a rootcommand line to .fluxbox/init to override all styles.

If you're using Jwm instead of fluxbox, remove the "./background" command from .xinitrc (or replace it with your own script).

I got it working!  Thanks for the clues.  I didn't know about the fluxbox style files.  I was able to edit one and put my script name for the rootcommand line.
