Okay. IMO, you made your child themes wrong to begin with. If the
parent theme used the custom-backgrounds, then you should have used
that to set the background instead of overriding with a child theme's
style.css.

But you got your wish, over my objections. Now help me make it work
properly insofar as theme-reviewing goes.
