Hi,

the attached example with xinitials works as long as neither graphicx
nor xcolor is used.  Loading any of those packages (and possibly others)
causes LaTeX to stop with an error, see below.  In slides from TUG99 I read:

> LATEX2e* is a collection of packages that run on top of LATEX2e

I'm not really sure if that applies to xinitials.  If not, what's the
preferred way to put an image into the background and deal with colours,
while xinitials is loaded?

Best regards,
Stephan Hennig
