[theme-reviewers] Something we need to check for 3.4 appearance-> background

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Didn't even bring up child themes in that equation.

With background-image: none;  you *have* to have in the child theme the 
add_theme_support with arguments to have a background image viewable.

That negates tons of child themes already produced unless they upgrade, as 
well as anything god forbid that was just style.css based.

Whats that?  child themes only need style.css really to be valid?  well then 
not anymore, would require a functions.php too then

*no way*

Load up several of the style override plugins and give it a try.

style.css -> sets background-image:  (not seen anymore)

override plugin -> sets background-image: (not seen anymore)

THEN COMES the code from the appearance -> background  (now seen)

If you use your method:

style.css -> (still not seen)
override plugin -> (still not seen)
background-image: none;  (no background image at all ever)

The way I describe

style.css -> reverts to what is set if any
(if) override plugin -> sets background-image (seen)
no custom-background and no background-image: none; to stop the above from
being valid fallbacks.

I'm sorry to be blunt, but that doesn't make a lick of sense.

If you don't do it right, then the user has *no way* to remove the
background image short of editing your theme and removing your
incorrect CSS. Not the desired outcome, I'd say.
