My two cents on the UI are that we should not modify the background color.

$0.01: I'm not that fond of apps that have non-standard background colors.
They tend to clash with other apps.  As Edward points out, infinite
extensibility and configuration is great, but it made X11 hard to use. 
Ultimately, the background color is up to the native look and feel and we
should avoid it.

$0.02: After messing with the background color in Ptplot, a very small program,
Edward and I found setting the background to be very difficult to do and
it seemed to be broken.  Maybe this is due to my inexperience as a Swing 
programmer.  Ultimately, I have other bugs to fix, so I'll probably not be
handling this one, so my say matters little, but I just wanted to chime in.
