Hmm, I thought the work that was committed was intended for printing, or at
least exporting to other formats (html, .doc, .rtf) and is per-document
attribute.
Anyway page color for display should be persistent preference, not
per-document attibute (obviously I don't want to set page color for each
document I open manually).
As for "Always Print White Background" setting - yes, this is a must too IMO.
