[kepler-dev] background color

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Norbert,
In Ptolemy, drag in a LocalPreferences attribute from Utilities.
Then set the Background color.

It appears that Kepler does not have LocalPreferences in the list
of attributes, so I did Tools->Instantiate Attribute and then
entered ptolemy.actor.gui.PtolemyPreferences

When I hacked in the -printPDF facility, I added some code that
sets the background, see for example ptolemy.actor.gui.ConfigurationApplication.

The place where PtolemyPreferences is used to set the background is in
ptolemy.vergil.basic.BasicGraphFrame
