As per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/753082/can-gvim-have-a-background-image I assume it's not possible. Why would you even want this?

I feel, if I add the background image it will differentiate konsole, terminal, and vim files.

Why isn't setting the background color enough for this differentation? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1117526/vim-background is a possibility in that case. And is there a reason to use `vim` instead of `gvim` which has more possibilities for costumization?
Pieter
I prefer `vim` because I can locate it within two more levels of organization, ie within a `screen` session within a terminal tab. There might be others, I really don't use `gvim` because losing that alone blows the sale. Also the fact that if X crashes my vim session is still alive is pretty nice.

Gnome's and KDE's terminal emulators have an option for background images, and they have "profiles" that can set up different settings for different usage. You should be able to set up a 'vim' profile in one of these with its own background image pretty easily.
