Background colour change does not work in non-composite

Binary package hint: gnome-do

I’m aware that non-composite users are considered second-class from GNOME Do 0.8 onwards¹, but it would be really helpful if either the background colour of the sole skin that we’re still allowed to use¹ was configurable or at least the background colour chooser was disabled when in non-composite mode (much like ‘Show window shadow’ and ‘Animate window’ are disabled). The current situation (bronze background that can’t be changed, even though the control is operable) seems sub-optimal to say the least.

¹ yes, I know, patches welcome – and being an open source developer myself I do feel for you; I’m just cranky because the mini skin worked so well for me in Intrepid’s non-composite GNOME Do and I can’t use composite in Jaunty because the Intel drivers suck (and the composite, while being quite fast, is this tiny bit less responsive that I can tell outright if I’m on composite or not)
