hi, is there any way i can set a true color picture as the workspace background in mwm? thanks

I think you might want what "xsetroot" does. There are also variations that use XPM files to set a pattern. Note that having a full-color pixmap is very expensive in terms of server resources.

...but "xsetroot -bitmap" only works with XBM file, doesn`t work with XPM file.

Yes; the "variations" I referred to include xsetrootxpm, which uses XPM or XBM files.

At one point, it was with the XPM distribution. See the package for libXpm. It is probably on ftp.x.org and avahi.inria.fr.
