Does anyone know how to add a picture to the background of the main msn window? i went through the skinning lessons and the list of pngs/jpgs but nothing seems to be there. thx in advance

You don't need skinning lesson for that 
Adding a background picture is very easy.
You just need to put a picture file named lvback.gif inside MSN Messenger folder (C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger).

It depends on the size of the file I guess.

For Windows Live Messenger you can even make it any graphic format which Windows reconize by default*, but you still should name the file "lvback.gif" though, despite it wouldn't be a GIF file in that case.
The image will also stay in the lower right corner and will not scroll when you scroll your contact list.
* many formats are already supported. eg: GIF, PNG, WMF, EMF, TIF, JPG, etc...
