We eventually decided to add the product image and the background logo as a single combined image ... because we can control all of the settings and variations within Adobe Illustrator.  This does complicate our process just a little bit, but we get what we want.

When the PC is freshly booted and FrameMaker is freshly launched, this usually works.  At times, however, keyboard commands are ignored.  This also is true for commands such as [Esc] [Spacebar] [n or m] for en and em spaces, and [Esc] [-] [h] for non-breaking hyphens.  It takes a reboot of FM software AND the Windows OS to get this feature to work ... but only sometimes ... at times I just need to wait a few days    8-(    ARGHHH !

If the focus is on one of the pods, the keyboard commands may not work. 
My most-often-used command is Reset Workspace (to my Blank workspace, 
which has all pods closed).
