Answer 1

From this thread at coderanch, a possible solution is to paint in the paintComponent method of your subclass of the JDesktopPane (or in your renderer for this class, which could be better).

Answer 2

You can extend JDeskTopPane class with another member as image and then in constructor set the background to that image.

    public ExtendedJDesktopPane(Image image) {
         super();
         this.image = image;
    }

  protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
     g.drawImage(scaledImage, 0, 0, this);
  }

EDIT: This is similar to the link provided below by Riduidel.. i just got late writing it.
