The easiest way:
Replace images you need in /usr/share/images/xsplash/

Imagemagic was missing, Now it works fine.

I installed wallpaper_daemon. After that I get 5 errors with following content when I run sudo xsplash:

(xsplash:2082): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)’ failed

and one each having (src) or (src_pixbuf) instead of (pixbuf)

Now I dont get any splash at all during startup.
Any Ideas what goes wrong?
