I think I must tell Seaside that this URL responds to some directory on my disk, some sort of Web root like in Apache, but I can't find it. Can you help me?

If you started Seaside with "WAKom startOn: 9090" (or whatever port 
number you choose) then the Comanche web server isn't serving plain 
files.  Use this to restart the server so that it will serve files from 
a directory called FileRoot in your squeak image directory (you can, of 
course, use any path you like):

| ma seaside |
    HttpService allInstancesDo: [:each | each stop. each unregister]
    seaside := WAKom default.
    ma := ModuleAssembly core.
    ma serverRoot: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'FileRoot') 
fullName.
    ma alias: '/seaside' to: [ma addPlug: [:request | seaside process: 
request]].
    ma documentRoot: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed:  'FileRoot') 
fullName.
    ma directoryIndex: 'index.html index.htm'.
    ma serveFiles.
    (HttpService startOn: 9090 named: 'httpd') plug: ma rootModule

Then, place your bank.png in this "FileRoot" directory and change your 
CSS to:

   body { background: url('/back.png'); }

So that it uses an absolute URL (not relative to seaside).

Hope this helps!
