by I just converted a bunch of KDE backdrops to xpm, stuck 'em
in $HOME/.dt/backdrops, and restarted my window manager. But
it takes forever for dtstyle to process all the backdrops before
the backdrop selection window comes up, and for backdrops with
lots of colors (say 5000 or more - yes, you can do that with
an xpm file), it seems to be spending most of its time (repeated
fuser on the files to see which it's reading) and on such files,
it also takes dtwm ridiculously long to load them. That's with
a 24-bit root window and default visual. Why the heck is it so slow
with those files? Gimp or xv can display them all in far less time
(even with e.g. xv tiling the root window).
