[waimea] Background images, svg, icons

[jeffrey-wilson at cinci.rr.com]

Looks like my question helped out a few people.  Yup, adding svg to my USE variables now lets me see the freedesktop.org svg image on my desktop.  Cool.

This command seems to be for the 0.4.0 version of waimea.  I do not see it in current theme style files.  The "root.conf" file of the freedesktop.org theme does have a place for background gradients and files, although my test jpeg does not work.  Maybe only *.svg work?  Maybe I just have the syntax wrong.

The themes at freshmeat are for earlier versions of waimea.  Well, at least the most recent one (SiamesicX ) is.  I could not get it to work for me since the formatting of the styles has changed since 0.4.0.  Looks like we need some theme authors.  =-)
