my personal backdrops come as negatives

Hello managers,

(my users and) I have problems with creating personal CDE-backdrops...

Following the docs we have been able at least to create personal
backdrops at all. But there are several problems:

-> We can only create "bm"s. All our "pm"-tries have been ignored
   by the WorkspaceManager until now.

-> And our "bm"s appear as "negatives" of the original pics instead
   of "positives"...

-> Another question: the number of colors a backdrop can have, is it
   declared by the number of colors i give to CDE? So, is not possible
   to have multi-color backdrops?

What we did: start with a gif or jpg picture, convert it with "xv" to
xbm, giving it a file.extension "bm" and restart the WorkspaceManager...

We have DU-4.0B plus PatchKit 7.

Any ideas, hints?

Thanks in advcance!
