Drawing a picture on the X root window, a la Windows wallpaper

I recently spent some time figuring out how to do this, and now
know of two methods. The first, which works for a number of file formats
(including XPM, incidentally), is
% xv -root -quit [image filename]
Another that'll work for files in XPM format only is
% xpmroot [image filename]
Does anyone know if either method is better than the other, or if
there's a still-better method I don't know about?
