IceWM - Setting wallpaper

I saw that some people find it difficult to change wallpaper in IceWM. It is actually very simple. You can do that by:

1) Openin the desired photo in Feh, right-click and select File → Background → Set Tiled|Scaled|Centered|Filled. The problem with that is that after closing a session, wallpaper will be lost.

However, there are two more easy options (probably there are even some more):

2) Make Feh set a wallpaper on every session start. Read this post to see how to do that.

3) Copy a file /usr/share/icewm/preferences to ~/.icewm folder. Open it and at the very end (antepenultimate), you'll see:

#  Desktop background image
# DesktopBackgroundImage=""

Remove the crunch sign (#) and add a path to desired wallpaper image in quotes. Example:

#  Desktop background image
DesktopBackgroundImage="/home/hrvoje/.icewm/wallpaper.jpg"

After that restart the IceWM and it should work (it works for me).
