The standard way I do this is to create a folder called ".background" and place the background image there, in the DMG. This folder is hidden in the finder. Then I get info and set the background picture and use cmd-shift-G to enter the path "/Volumes/MyDMG/.background/background.png" to set the background image. I then position my icons and window size correctly, then unmount the DMG and create a compressed read-only copy.

However, if you're looking for a tool to automate this (my automation is a shell script that swaps out the app with the newest build and re-copies the DMG), you might look at Filestorm. I've never used it, but I've heard good things about it.

I'll vouch for FileStorm; I use it, and it's a good application.

I don't work for MindVision :).
