Dear Maintainer,
after upgrade to trixie, qiv seems no longer able to set the desktop
background using: qiv --root <imagefile>
Same result with qiv -x / -y / -z options.

This used to work under bookworm/qiv version 2.3.

This is on debian trixie using Xorg (1:7.7+24) and xdm (1:1.1.11-6.1)

Thanks & best regards,
simon
