Comment (by nathanrice):

 @westi,
 Is that new? Also, when trying to use it, like so, in functions.php:

 {{{
 add_custom_background();
 define( 'BACKGROUND_IMAGE',
 'http://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2.png' );
 }}}

 ... it works on the front end, but doesn't work on the custom background
 upload page. When I look at the source, this is what is output:

 {{{
 <div id="custom-background-image" style="background-color: #000000;
 background-image: url(''); background-repeat: repeat; background-position:
 top left"><img class="custom-background-image" src=""
 style="visibility:hidden;" alt="" /><br />
 <img class="custom-background-image" src="" style="visibility:hidden;"
 alt="" />
 </div>
 }}}

 Do I need to define the constant somewhere besides directly in
 functions.php?

 If these constants work, then I retract my former objection. The theme
 should define the custom background image in functions.php, instead of
 style.css, and the problem should go away.
