[docbook-apps] Background image on cover title page only

[Akagi K <akagi.kobayashi@aepona.com>]

I am using Docbook 4. with FOP 0.95 to product PDFs, and created a
user.pagemasters.xsl to show an external graphic on the cover title page,
where the graphic itself was added to book.title.recto.xsl. However, now I
need to show a background image, the size of the whole page, with the title
of the document printed over it.

How can I add a background image to book.title.recto.xsl?  It would seem to
be the simplest if I could do that. Please see below for the extract.
Background-image is a child element of region-body, but I can't add
region-body nor a background-image to a block.  

I have tried the avenue of adding the background image to the
user.pagemasters.xsl but the image appears on Part title pages also. I
followed postings from Nick Wood (Page number shows on titlepage) and
created a new <fo:simple-page-master> with a new master-name to apply to
'"odd" pages and "rest" of the pages, but this is not reflected in the part
title pages. 

Would be grateful for you guidance!

Extract of book.title.recto.xsl, and extract of user.pagemasters.xsl below
that: 

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";

An extract of the simple-page-mater section from user.pagemaster.xsl:
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-titlepage-first"
                           page-width="{$page.width}"
                           page-height="{$page.height}"
                           margin-top="0cm"
                           margin-bottom="0cm"
                           margin-left="0cm"
                           margin-right="0cm">
                           
 <fo:region-body 
                      margin-bottom="0cm"
                      margin-top="0cm"
                      background-image="file:images/aepona_cover.png"
content-height="30cm" content-width="24cm" 
                      background-repeat="no-repeat" 
                      column-gap="{$column.gap.titlepage}"
                      column-count="{$column.count.titlepage}">
                                
         <xsl:if test="$axf.extensions != 0">
        <xsl:call-template name="axf-page-master-properties">
          <xsl:with-param
name="page.master">my-titlepage-first</xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:if>
      </fo:region-body>
     </fo:simple-page-master>

The simple page master for my-titlepage-odd is created similarly, but
without the background image.
and ...
