Drag and drop an image to set the iChat background Apps
If you drag an image from the desktop into the background of an iChat message window, it will set that image as the background for that window! I found this totally by accident.

[Editor's note: This is a handy shortcut for the View -> Set Chat Background dialog box. But if you do it accidentally (missing the input box when dragging an image to send, for example), you might think you've messed up your iChat when your conversation screen changes dramatically! To undo what you've just done, you can't just drag the image back out of the window. Instead, you have to use View -> Clear Chat Background menu.]

Apparently the drag-and-drop method only applies to that particular chat.

If you want to permanently set the background image you must use View->Set Chat Background...
