Backdrop doesn't work on SE/30s (according to the dox), DeskPict (v1.0
or 1.1) will
work on the SE/30s. You need to save the picture as a "PICT" resource
with the name
DeskPicture and put it in the system folder along with the init.
Superpaint can save
PICT and startup screen formats, but the init works best if the picture
is saved as a 
resource. Create/modify your favorite picture, save it as PICT
(preferably) and using
Adobe PhotoShop or PixelPaint Professional save the picture as a PICT RESOURCE.

That should do the trick.
