[theme-reviewers] add_custom_background()

[Mats Birch]

A-HA!  :-)


A litte more serious, a general question even: If one want to have an 
exception to the guidelines, where and when should one apply?
(I don't like the idea of upload -> review -> WHAM -> not-approved -> 
last-in-line.)
Should a theme developer add it to the ticket directly after upload, to 
avoid the "WHAM" thing? That seems to be the right place and time.
